American Library Association’s Catherine Sias for Booklist:

“Lighthearted and amusing, suspenseful and romantic, and told with wit and insight, this is a fast-paced story of a smart young journalist struggling to find her place in the world. Sally Harrington was a magazine writer in Los Angeles before returning to her hometown of Castleford, Connecticut, when her mother became ill with cancer. Now that her mother is well, Sally is beginning to find her small-town life a bit stifling. She dates her high-school sweetheart and writes for the local paper, where one of her primary assignments is working with local conspiracy theorist and UFO fanatic Pete Sabatino. When she stumbles on an opportunity to write a profile of the high-powered TV executive Cassy Cochran for Expectations, a glamorous New York magazine, she jumps at the chance. As Sally attempts to balance her two lives, she finds that the excitement of New York (and her hot new boyfriend) may not be all that she’d hoped for and that life is starting to get interesting back in Castleford. She did, after all, discover a dead body and break the murder story for her paper. As Sally unravels the mystery in her hometown, negotiates high-society in New York, and tries to straighten out her love life, she maintains her enthusiasm and good-natured outlook, which are shared by her appreciative audience. VanWormer has put together a hip contemporary tale that is sure to be a hit with her fans as well as anyone looking for a pleasurable summer read.”
