For Meg and Jen, who never gave up on us
acknowledgments
We would like to thank
Deb Cavanaugh for keeping Bob sane,
Kim “Needles” Cardascia for never breaking a sweat no matter what we came screaming to her for,
the Cherries and the CherryBombs for taking the trip with us,
our beta readers-Brooke Chapman, Katy Cooper, Heidi Cullinan, Kari Hayes, Robin LaFevers, Corinna Lavitt, Chris Merrill, and Valerie Taylor-for giving great feedback,
Richie Ducharme for getting us the beach house,
John Karle for never losing us on the road,
Russ Parsons, who helped us with the food columnist background and who puts up with Jenny in general (well, he has to because she’s family, but she’s still grateful),
Doreen Thompson for media training (Crusie-Mayer, He Wrote/She Wrote, romantic adventure, and uh…),
Charlie Verral for once again providing us with our NYC home away from home,
Mollie Smith for running our professional lives,
Jennifer Enderlin for being the perfect editor,
and Meg Ruley for being the perfect agent.
