Lowe said in a statement, “I’m hoping readers will think of the first book as a restaurant where they ate a good meal, and that they’ll want to come back and try a new dish."

Simon & Schuster publisher Jonathan Karp expressed enthusiasm for Lowe’s new project. “The first book proved that Rob Lowe is a great storyteller. The second book will prove that he can write about anything and continue to captivate readers.”
