"Deftly comparing past and present, the novel explores themes of gender identity and sexual orientation during Hollywood’s “Lavender Scare” and today."- Publishers Weekly "Film and theater lovers will particularly delight in frequent references and lore, but the sensational summer-camp mystery will easily appeal to all."- Booklist "Debut author Key constructs a well-paced treasure hunt, as much a mystery as a love letter to theater and its history. A layered, unexpectedly poignant mystery with over-the-top characters."- Kirkus Reviews
"Key does a good job of bringing in such topics as the 1940s Hearings Against Accused Communists in Hollywood and related “Lavender Scare” without letting history overwhelm the storytelling.and of allowing the book’s themes of gender and sexuality to develop organically.*"Key weaves an intriguing mystery together with a sensitive exploration of gender identity, mental health, and family relationships in the historical and present-day settings."- BCCB, starred review
