“Screenwriter Steinberg’s fizzy debut balances quick-witted romance with colorful bursts of two-fisted action…Steinberg’s screenwriting experience serves her well in a plot that often feels plucked from a black-and-white rom-com…There’s plenty of bounce and bite in the execution. Readers will be eager to see what Steinberg does next.” —Publishers Weekly on Under the Paper Moon
