“Kaplan peels back the curtain to examine the culture of a television network in this sharply observed, completely absorbing debut novel…Kaplan’s authentic insider knowledge makes her piercing first outing a cut above the plethora of Hollywood-set novels.”–Booklist

“In third-person chapters that alternate between Rafik’s and Fahad’s points of view, the novel deftly captures the way the past—both memories and inheritances—informs the present and the future…A deft examination of sexuality, history, and father-son relationships.”–Kirkus Reviews
