When Morgan Tyler became co-executive producer for the daytime soap Love of My Life, she didn't realize how seriously she should have taken the advice that the job was a catch-all for everything from assisting her partner's attempts to avoid his father, to mentally juggling a criminal psychologist and a NYPD detective, to dodging dictatorial missives from the new Daytime VP, to helping hounded wives hide in plain sight, to dealing with murders on the set, to a little amateur sleuthing on the side. Armed with vicious wit, intriguingly memorable friends and daytime drama know-how, what can go wrong?

This is a great book for fans of soap operas and good books alike. The action is tinged with humor and fast-paced, and the characters are skillfully rendered. Morgan's friend Nancy is memorable and fascinating, as are all of the twisty pokes at soap opera plots and relationships. Surrounded by all of the fluffiness that can be daytime television, Morgan Tyler balances earthy humanity and flippant humor with aplomb.
