"In Sanders's hands, what is usually cliché or gratuitous is hot." -Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls
Award-winning novelist Lauren Sanders offers a story about the isolation and loneliness of adolescence and the neglect-benign as it may be-of the familial, cultural, and political institutions that are supposed to provide some sort of "support system."
Lauren Sanders is a novelist and journalist who lives in New York City. Her highly acclaimed debut novel, Kamikaze Lust (Akashic, 2000), won a 2001 Lambda Literary Award. Sanders's writing has appeared in many publications including the American Book Review, Poets & Writers, and Time Out New York.

By J.M. Snyder (Richmond, VA USA)
This story really blew me away. I've always been curious about people who feel compelled to kill celebrities, particularly those they claim to love. When I began the book, I never expected to feel sympathetic toward Lillian, but I found myself caught up in the whirlwind of her life. The writing is vivid and rich, and the characters very real. I particularly liked the juxtaposition between Lillian's side of the story and Brooke's mother's side.
Though Lillian never met Brooke, she fell in love with the superstar in her magazines and on her television much the same way millions of teenaged girls do. While the premise sounds fantastical, the events of the novel play out in such a way as to make perfect sense. I was left with an immense feeling of sadness for Lillian. The fangirl in me could imagine playing her role all too well.
