Connie's review:
I love the character of Brigid Quinn, 59-year-old former FBI agent who is learning how to be a wife to Carlo, professor and former priest. So much to praise about this author's first thriller--setting, secondary characters, plot.

Andrea's review:

At first I was a little skeptical of an actor writing fiction, but Lauren Graham won me over with this funny, charming novel. Franny Banks is a struggling actress in New York City, taking acting class and waiting tables to get by. She's given herself three years to "make it," after which, she figures, she'll stop pursuing her acting career if she hasn't had any success. The book follows Franny through various escapades in acting class, commercial auditions, meetings with agents, even a movie premiere, and follows her ups and downs in her career and her romantic life.

The book's chapters are punctuated by handwritten entries in Franny's day planner, complete with doodles, grocery lists, and a mileage log for her daily runs. These pages embody Franny's quirky, self-deprecating character (not unlike Graham's character on the TV show Gilmore Girls). Graham has given Franny a wry, humorous voice, and Franny always comes up with snappy one-liners, even if she’s feeling overwhelmed by awkward situations. She’s an endearing character, someone I’d like to hang out with. Franny is much more courageous and talented than she’s willing to acknowledge, and I went through the novel cheering her on. Pick up this book and you probably will too!
