A wonderful champagne bubble of a book-glamorous, aspirational, and relatable! The fifties never seemed so fun! Wicked, naughty and clever. - Melissa de la Cruz, author of Witches of East End
Deliciously stylish. Callahan suavely combines literary finesse and pulp fiction to create a fast-moving, heartwrenching tale of romance and tragedy in a time of tyrannically sexist social conventions. - Booklist
