Acknowledgments
Thank you to all the readers who supported me, to all the authors who fought alongside me in the trenches and taught me so much, and to the entire Entangled team. Thank you, my dear friend, Jocie, who encouraged me with her enthusiasm for the written word; my agent, Victoria Lowes, for loving Tyler and Priya and taking a chance on us; and my editor, Erin Molta, who worked long and hard to see this story make it. Many thanks to my brother, who corrects my Gujarati, and endless thanks to my husband, who gives me way too many ideas.
