Reviews

Centering on the experience of this small-town girl with burning ambitions, the book is exquisitely plotted with its inventive story structure, placing nuggets of information throughout to reel the reader in. Though the pace is leisurely, the tension of the story is taut and explores how ambitions clash with genuine connection and test the humanity of compassionate relationships. Fagans journalism-honed observational skills make her fiction debut shine. Booklist, Starred Review

An electrifying story of a bestselling authors secrets. Fagan fascinates with her enigmatic and shape-shifting protagonist, and the tightly woven plot will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Its a blast. Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
