NICOLA YOON grew up in Jamaica (the island) anděrooklyn (part of Long Island). Thank you for everything, everything.ğor love.ğor adventure.ğor family.ğor this life. Thank you for drawing me beautiful things atĔĚ.M. You believed in this book from the very first words and that has meant the world to me.Ěnother huge thanks to my tireless publicist, Jillian Vandall, and then to the entire team atĝelacorte for making my biggest, oldest, wildest dream come true. Thank you for your vision and passion and kindness. Truly, I won the lottery having you as my editor. I especially want to thank Sara for being a mad scientist genius and Joelle (also a genius) for making me laugh and feel good even when giving me twelve pages of single-spaced, double-sided revision notes. Thanks to Joelle Hobeika, Sara Shandler, Natalie Sousa, and Joshěank atĚlloy. You are generous and funny and one of the best writers I know. In particular, I need to thank Wendy Wunder. You guys were my first community of writers and what a talented, crazy, supportive, mostly sober group you were.

I need to thank the Thursday night drinking and writing crew fromĞmerson College. I have to thank my dad for showing me that you could write things on paper that came from your head and that those things could affect people. I thought that it (writing) and him (my dad) were just the coolest.

When I was young and growing up in Jamaica, my dad wrote movie reviews for a local paper.

No, Oprah hasn’t selected me for her book club yet, Mom.ěut! It could happen. First, I’d like to thank my mom, who has always dreamed big enough for the both of us. YOUĚRE TRULY a thorough reader if you’re here with me in the acknowledgments.Ěnd, as a truly thorough reader of books (and their acknowledgments), you know that books do not spring wholly formed from the addled minds of their authors.
