What could possibly go wrong? Sammy Espinoza is known for her smart and hilariously cynical music criticism, and she has a successful column to prove how notoriously hard to please she is in the music biz. But when her singer ex-girlfriend breaks up with her via song on stage, Sammy is willing to do anything, even jeopardize her career, to win her back. But her grand gesture, a fawning review on her column, doesn't accomplish much--she's still single and now her reputation is in the gutter. She has one last chance before her editor cuts her column. Luckily, Sammy has the perfect plan to get her edge back. Rumor has it that Max Ryan, home-grown rock star and Sammy's former high school crush, is back home in Ridley Falls, Washington, recording his highly anticipated but hugely secretive solo album. This is enough to get Sammy out of Seattle and on a Greyhound headed to Ridley Falls, the tiny town she swore she'd never come back to. Exclusive access to Max's new music would guarantee Sammy's professional redemption and, even better, give her the opportunity to serve some long-awaited revenge to the first person who broke her heart. When Sammy does run into Max... he doesn't even remember who she is. Sammy pretends this is all for the best. If she can play the part of tourist from the big city, she can gain his trust, let him "show her around," listen to the album, eviscerate it in her column, and be done with this whole mess in a week"-- Provided by publisher. 20231215.
