From Booklist

When small-town girl Tess McPhail followed the pull of Nashville's glittering lights, she placed her dreams on becoming a country singer. Eighteen years later, she is a megastar and is caught in a whirlwind of tours, recording sessions, and financial meetings--a whirlwind that crashes to a stop when her sister demands her help in caring for their mother. Angered at her sister's orders, Tess breezes in to town for a month and crashes straight into the past in the form of Kenny Kronek, the boy-next-door `dork' from high school who has been helping her mother. Sparks and tempers fly whenever the two meet, and Tess' professional interest in Kenny's daughter Casey's singing career causes further problems. As Tess relearns how to relate to her family without hiding behind her celebrity, she begins to appreciate the life she left behind and realizes there is a gaping hole in her current lifestyle--a hole that Kenny may be able to fill. Spencer is a consistent New York Times best-seller, and her latest is a Literary Guild Main Selection. Although not as emotionally wrenching as past novels, expect high demand and start counting how many copies your library will need to meet it.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Small Town Girl, Mai 26 2003
Par Kimmy (Delafield, WI USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I especially loved reading this book about the twists and turns of passions between Kenny and Tess. It really makes you feel that you should always keep your eyes open for love because you never really know where it is going to come about. It was great reading this book, quick read yet very detailed in what happens!!!

Par Un client
I really recommend this book! It has everything a good girl book should have....love, childhood memories, fame, parts that make you laugh, parts that make you cry, parts that make you say "awww" and of course a happy ending.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Too many negatives, Mars 17 2003
Par Un client
I have enjoyed each of Spencer's books, and although this story did keep me going, there were several things about this book that "just plain bugged me".
First of all, I really don't get into books about celebrities that much. I just can't relate to their lives very much and they usually come across as selfish and rather uncaring. No different here. I also do not like to have real-life celebrities mixed in with fictional characters (such as the scenes from Tess's wedding). When I read a fictional book, I like the characters to all be fictional. Which is probably one of the main reasons I don't like celebrity books.
Another thing that irked me was the portrayal of Judy. The scene in the hospital cafeteria was especially annoying, like what you eat makes you the person you are. I am only a size 4, but I still get annoyed at the way society sees skinny people as better than overweight people. No wonder so many teen-age girls have eating disorders. And why did Judy hate Tess so much? We never know.
I also didn't think the author did very much with the character of Kenny, she didn't take me inside his thoughts very much so I really couldn't tell how he was really feeling. The whole book focused on Tess's thoughts and she was a very shallow person.
I also agree with another reviewer that it's hard to get past the fact that the hero was stolen from someone else. Come to think of it, that's very common in Spencer's books. Think of Bittersweet, Separate Beds, Vows, Spring Fancy....
Tess's relationship with her mother was the redeeming quality for this book. I think many people can relate to leaving home for a long time and being irritated by our parents when we return. That was the one relationship in the book that really progressed well. And I also liked the relationship between Tess and Casey, though I do question whether it's realistic or not.
Overall, it's good because it's Lavyrle Spencer, but I don't think I'll be buying this one.
