DePetrillo said: "Our Doctor Who list is a place to showcase talented writers and bold ideas—and it was a sheer delight to discover that Jenny Colgan, whose commercial fiction is so well respected and loved, was a massive 'Doctor Who' fan." He added that the novel is "fast-paced, thrilling and often quite funny," and said: "It captures Matt Smith's Doctor perfectly and introduces some very memorable new characters as well. It's a testament to Jenny's range as a writer of quality commercial fiction, and it's a book I'm proud to publish on the Doctor Who list." | DePetrillo said: "Our Doctor Who list is a place to showcase talented writers and bold ideas—and it was a sheer delight to discover that Jenny Colgan, whose commercial fiction is so well respected and loved, was a massive 'Doctor Who' fan."
