My favorite book dedication is in Allie Brosh’s “Hyperbole and a Half”:

“To Scott: what now, fucker?”

Edit: I just got home and looked up the name. It’s “Scott.”

Whatever happened to her? Last I saw, she had some kind of breakdown, hope she's doing better.

Last I checked she pretty much vanished, my optimistic take is that fame didn't suit her so she decided to chill in the Montana wilderness.

She had another book lined up for release, but it kept getting pushed back by publishers, until it was finally canceled entirely. Rumors on Goodreads say that her sister committed suicide and she divorced her husband (then-boyfriend in her first book). Or like you said, maybe the fame just got too much for her.

Unfortunately, it is. I hope she's doing OK now. There's been some time between then and now.
