Review:
"In Kate Sandford, Catherine McKenzie has created a 21st century Bridget Jones--dark and delicate, broken yet strong. SPIN is all at once comic, heart-breaking, and life-affirming."--Tish Cohen, author of Inside Out Girl and Town House
"Spin is a fresh, sassy and compelling novel delivered with pitch-perfect humor. McKenzie's light touch with a serious topic will have readers cheering for Katie as she proves people can change."--Holly Kennedy, author of The Penny Tree, The Silver Compass and The Tin Box
"Imagine if Bridget Jones fell into a million little pieces, flew over the cuckoo's nest, and befriended Lindsay Lohan along the way...."--Leah McLaren, Globe and Mail columnist, author of The Continuity Girl
"With Spin, Catherine McKenzie taps into both the ridiculous and sublime elements of the world her characters inhabit, and, more importantly, points out how those are often exactly the same. A thoroughly engaging debut."--David Sprague, music journalist, contributor to Variety, Village Voice, and Rolling Stone

Kate's To-Do List:

- Write killer expose
- Land dream job
Piece of cake!
When Kate Sandford lands an interview at her favorite music magazine, The Line, it's the chance of a lifetime. So Kate goes out to celebrate--and shows up still drunk to the interview the next morning. It's no surprise that she doesn't get the job, but her performance has convinced the editors that she'd be perfect for an undercover assignment for their gossip rag. All Kate has to do is follow "It Girl" Amber Sheppard into rehab. If she can get the inside scoop--and complete the thirty-day program--they'll reconsider her for the position at The Line. Kate takes the assignment, but when real friendships start to develop, she has to decide if what she has to gain is worth the price she'll have to pay.
