Reception

The book received generally favorable reviews from critics and audiences.[3] Kirkus Reviews spoke positively in their review, stating, "The honesty of emotion they share is refreshing. Gruenenfelder’s debut supplies a splendid vacation from reality."[4] The Library Journal praised the book for Gruenenfelder's Hollywood realism: "Gruenenfelder, a Hollywood screenwriter, knows her setting and her craft. Well-written characters and a wicked sense of humor help this debut stand above the usual chick-lit fare."[5]
