Autorka zas a znovu dokazuje, že psaní je jejím posláním. Právě Taylor má totiž jedinečný dar vdechnout smyšleným protagonistům život a přimět čtenáře, aby je současně miloval i nenáviděl. Nejinak tomu bude i v této knize, kde se již tradičně střídají úhly pohledů. Tentokrát k vám bude promlouvat buď sympatická novinářka okolo třiceti let věku, či stárnoucí ikona, která touží zvěčnit svůj životní příběh. Obě dámy představují prototyp silné ženy, i když každá z nich svou sílu projevuje jinak. S oběma budete místy souznět a místy si je budete přát uškrtit.
