16 Ways to Break a Heart Read online

  To my agent, Jen Rofé. Thank you so much for your friendship and wise counsel. I can’t imagine doing any of this without you at my side.

  To Francesca Lia Block, who read this book twice. Sending you so much gratitude and love. I’m so fortunate to know you.

  To Jade Chang, Adeline Colangelo, and Milly Sanders—thank you for reading everything I write and for always offering up such smart suggestions and feedback. I’d be lost without the help and perspective of writers and friends like you.

  To Amanda Yates Garcia, artist extraordinaire. Thank you for helping me sort out Natalie’s trajectory as an up-and-comer in the LA art scene.

  To Sue Anne Kaples, principal of Sunrise School in Sherman Oaks. Endless thanks for the grand tour, for the student and teacher introductions, and for the detailed run-down of a day-in-the-life of a Sunrise student. I couldn’t have written Dayview accurately without your generosity and help.

  To Katherine Tegen and the entire team at KT Books. I appreciate, deeply, all your hard work and support.

  And lastly, to my father, Ken Strasnick. I feel so lucky that I get to be your kid.
