You’ll never watch your local TV news program the same way
after reading Falling Star. Diana Dempsey has poured

old in a youth-obsessed culture. A fun and feisty debut. –

An absorbing fast-paced story that rips the false eyelashes
off TV news. If you’ve ever wanted to throttle your
husband, torpedo your rotten boss, or derail an undeserving
rival, this book is for you. I haven’t loved a debut novel
this much since The First Wives Club. – Bestselling
author Ciji Ware

This first novel takes the reader to the grit and
competition of the television news business. Sometimes a
laugh-out-loud experience, this book has you rooting for the

lots of twists and turns. The local television news
backdrop will show readers that the so-called glamour of the
business is a veneer. In order to stay on top you have to
have smarts, political savvy, and stay above the fray … – Laurie Jacoby, agent, Napoli Management Group
