Leah Hultenschmidt, whose enthusiasm and love for Stars first convinced and then proved to me that I couldn’t have hoped for a better home for this book. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for truly understanding the themes and characters, for the incredible edits, and for advocating for my story.
Thank you to the entire team at Forever and Grand Central Publishing: Sabrina Flemming, Daniela Medina, Mari Okuda, Deborah Friedman, Jeff Stiefel, Estelle Hallick, Dana Cuadrado, Joelle Dieu, and anyone who has helped to put this book into the world and the hands of readers.
Thank you to early readers for your insight and knowledge: Rhiannon Moller-Trotter, Jared Pascoe, and Erin Tillman.
And, finally, thank you to the readers, librarians, and booksellers who have supported my books and my work so that my dream as a writer can live on. So much love to you all!
