TEAM TODD
Joy
Kindred spirit and LDR (long distance relationship) bestie. "Karma is real, Kristine. You organized my surprise birthday party, and you got a husband out of it!" New York, NY
Erica
Nemesis in fifth grade. Best friend since sixth. Friendship forged thanks to the adage “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”. Manila, PH.
Ayah
Zhen
Ernest
Nakul
Sister from another mother, and roommate in Boston. Holds many of my blackmail-worthy secrets. (There's a reason she's on Team Tin.) Washington, DC.
Partner-in-crime and co-editor way back in college. Our current hobby: trying out the latest restaurant and the newest cocktail while musing over life, love, and other mysteries. Manila, PH
Classmate in grad school and travel buddy. Would've married him if Todd didn't come along. (Long story.) Washington, DC.
Prom date and telebabad-mate. This guy has had a deep impact on my life. Probably why I became the "shadow" best woman at his wedding. Manila, PH.
Good friend and co-author of “The Meaning of Life” (the book we vowed to write together as soon as we figure it out). Washington, DC.
Reid
My one and only brother, and for sure the more spoiled one. Currently starring in his own version of Law and Order: Rural Alaska. Bethel, AK

Denise
Big sister, bibo baseball mom, stare-down champion, reformed bully. I know she loves me because I read her diary when I was 8, and she didn't kill me. Manila, PH.

Younger sister and consentedora extraordinaire. Currently on sabbatical from her role as CTO (Chief Tequila Officer) because of my newborn nephew Luc. Manila, PH.
