Limelight - Hardcover

"The story of a Broadway primadonna and the behind-the-scenes theatrical world made Amy Poeppel's novel very special for me . . . A wonderful read!"--Roger Horchow, Tony Award-winning Broadway producer

"A delightful, twist-of-fate tale of a suburban transplant whose new Manhattan life collides with that of a troubled pop star on the cusp of his Broadway debut. LIMELIGHT is a quintessential New York story of motherhood, family, and fairy-tale possibilities. A must-read for fans of Lauren Weisberger and Sophie Kinsella."--Jamie Brenner, bestselling author of The Husband Hour

"An absolute delight! Celebrity culture and modern motherhood collide in a warm and witty love letter to Broadway, told with Poeppel's pitch-perfect wit and smart, breezy style. Allison and Carter are the odd couple you've been waiting for. Hysterical!"--Georgia Clark, author of THE REGULARS and THE BUCKET LIST

"Amy Poeppel has pulled out all the stops to create an authentic inside glimpse into the theater world."--Tony Shalhoub, actor

"Witty, assured, and remarkably tender, Limelight is a grade-A delight. Once again, Poeppel shows us that she's a master of observation. With her as a guide, everything--ranging from motherhood, to New York City, to hilariously spoiled teen idols--takes on a new, refreshing glean."--Grant Ginder, Author of PEOPLE WE HATE AT THE WEDDING

"Such a delight! I rise to a standing ovation for Limelight, especially for dialogue that had me marveling on every page. Carter Reid has to be the most wonderfully/perfectly rendered spoiled celebrity brat I've encountered on the page. Brava, Amy Poeppel!"--Elinor Lipman, author of ON TURPENTINE LANE and THE INN AT LAKE DIVINE

"With well-developed characters and an engaging plot, Poeppel's sophomore effort (after Small Admissions) is sure to please the many fans of the her first novel."--Library Journal

"Will strike a chord in every reader."--US Weekly

"Amy Poeppel's charming read lifts the curtain on celebrity culture."--Us Weekly, The Best of Spring Reads

"LIMELIGHT is a unique blend of the audacious celebrity lifestyle and the challenges of modern-day mothers. It's clear that Poeppel is passionate about her love of Broadway and life in New York City, but above all, the story takes the spotlight off the stage and points to the importance of a strong family unit--no matter how that may look."--Associated Press
