"Starred Review. Smiley delivers a delightful, subtly observant sendup of Tinseltown folly, yet she treats her characters, their concern with compelling surfaces and their perpetual quest to capture reality through artifice, with warmth and seriousness." - PW.
"Starred Review. Smiley has a gift for entwining eroticism with humanism and sparkling wit to form deliciously complex and slyly satirical fiction." - Booklist.
"A couple of touching moments toward the end can't redeem this surprising misstep from one of our most gifted novelists." - Kirkus.
