'An ode to sisterhood and sexuality... Utterly refreshing' HEAT
'Daisy Buchanan writes about all the chaos and conflict of being a young woman' Red

This good girl is naked on the internet...

By day, Frankie lives an ordinary life: doting daughter, supportive sister, adoring aunt and (mostly) capable colleague. The only trouble is that she also feels invisible.

So by night, Frankie creates her alter ego, uploading risqué photos to a small community of online fans. She becomes sexy, confident and, most importantly, anonymous.

That is, until Frankie's two worlds collide and she finds herself thrust into the limelight, along with her secret.
Overnight, she becomes both a feminist icon and a target; wanted and worthless; powerful and petrified. Suddenly all eyes are on her.

...but is she ready to bare it all?

Limelight is a funny, touching and provocative tale of sisterhood, sexuality and self-esteem. What would you gain - and lose - by being yourself, instead of who everyone wants you to be?

'Daisy Buchanan has that special something that makes a wonderful popular fiction writer - acute observational skills, huge empathy and a perfect balance of light and shade.' Marian Keyes, author of Again, Rachel
'Buchanan works through big themes of power, sexuality, friendship and purpose with truly interesting and recognisable characters' Stylist
'Daisy Buchanan brings characters to life like no other writer' Lucy Vine, author of Seven Exes

Goodreads review by Mark on November 28, 2020

I adored this book. I loved reading about the details of the making of each album, about the tours in between, and about these three creative geniuses working with different producers over the years. I discovered RUSH in that life-altering way shortly after the release of GRACE UNDER PRESSURE. Then I......more

Goodreads review by MB on January 27, 2021

This second book in the Rush series covers the middle period of the band when they created their showstopper, Moving Pictures. Again, each chapter focuses on a different album, including live albums, beginning with Permanent Waves, one of my personal favorites. The 1980s brought changes to the way t......more

Goodreads review by J Earl on September 20, 2020

Limelight: Rush in the '80s by Martin Popoff is a detailed account of the group during this period. Filled with facts and opinions (both his and those of the band members), this work really makes these albums come alive again. I admit to being one of the fans who prefer their earliest records.
