“Most people know Fountains of Wayne for ‘Stacy’s Mom,’ but McQuarrie’s well-researched retrospective spotlights an impressive catalog packed with countless other should-have-been hits. Fans will want to set aside a few hours to devour this short book in one sitting. I definitely did.”

—S.W. Lauden, editor of Go All The Way: A Literary Appreciation of Power Pop and Remember The Lightning: A Guitar Pop Journal

“The book is filled with rich details about songs and albums that should’ve been much bigger than they became. McQuarrie’s thorough research pays off in a big way on this great work of art in her own right. Fountains of Wayne is a book you won’t want to put down, and makes for a great companion piece to the band’s rich discography.”
