Julie Chan Is Dead

by Liann Zhang

To my parents, who ensured I had no student debt and remained financially secure so I could spend my spare hours in university writing silly books instead of worrying about corporate internships, jobs, or bills, like most students. Especially to my mom. Just in general. For literally everything. To my sister, Kassie, who is nothing like Chloe or Julie. I will not steal your life! I promise!! (Mostly because we look nothing alike and I’d never get away with it if I tried.)

To all the YouTubers and influencers I watched growing up that literally formed my personality and sense of humor. I will withhold naming any of them just in case they get canceled in the future.
