Name dropping / Jane Heller.
Lately, the most exciting thing in preschool-teacher Nancy Stern's life is staying home with a good book. When she suddenly starts receiving invitations to White House galas and private film screenings with Harrison Ford, her ego is given a jolt until she realizes a much more glamorous Nancy Stern, a sneering celebrity journalist, has just moved into the penthouse in her Manhattan building. When the "wrong" Nancy accepts a call from a potential blind date, she decides to pose as the writer. Soon she becomes ensnared in a murder mystery and a romance, which may or may not be a result of her mistaken identity. Heller, author of Sis Boom Bah , manages again to mold what could be a dark, twisted tale into a sharp, lighthearted story. Heller provides some genuinely shocking revelations concerning the mystery at hand in between jocular scenes that jab at modern dating rituals and in which witty repartee abounds, especially between the self-deprecating Nancy and her cocky best friend, serial dater Janice.
