Cruel Summer (23 page)

Big, huge, glittery, confetti-strewn thanks go to: Matthew Shear and Rose Hilliard, to whom I’m eternally grateful; Kate Schafer, for too many reasons to mention; Sandy Sherman, the perfect yang to my yin; and every single one of my readers—you guys totally rock!

This is a work of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in this novel are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
