Apparently, it takes a village of Jens: Thank you to Jen Loja, who got me started on this and cheered me to the finish. Thank you to Jenn Joel, for her invaluable help and insight. And thank you to Jen Klonsky, for believing in this project early and seeing it through with me. I'm also grateful to and for many others: Thank you to Elissa Schappell, who has been such a stunning reader for me over the years without exception and to Meg Wolitzer, for her support, her candidness, and her friendship. Thank you to Emily Chenoweth, Joanna Hershon, and Madeleine Osborn. And to 61 Local in Brooklyn, for that way-back table. Thank you to Pedro, my best critic. And to Julian. Thank you, Julian.
