EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Feb 06, 2007; Writer: Claire Berlinski; Genres: Fiction, Romance; Publisher: Ballantine

The metafictional premise of Claire Berlinski's Lion Eyes involves real-life Loose Lips author Berlinski's Internet affair with a Persian archaeologist, Arsalan.

Source of Angst
Arsalan suddenly disappears — is he a spy? Or just not that into her?

Fashion Pinnacle
''A pair of five-inch stiletto-heeled sandals — gold-lamé sandals...with turquoise medallions.''

Lowdown
A CIA subplot adds interest to the familiar online-dating scenario, but Claire's eccentric group of friends is more entertaining. B
