Publishers Weekly has come out with a starred review for Savage Girl. The reviewer says:
The prologue of Zimmerman’s superior historical thriller will suck most readers in instantly. On the night of May 19, 1876, 22-year-old Hugo Delegate awaits the arrival of the police at a house overlooking Manhattan’s Gramercy Park, the site of a savage murder committed by either him or a “girl murderess.” Hugo soon reveals that the victim, a “longtime acquaintance and sometime friend,” is but the latest in a series, and after his arrest, he presents the complex backstory to his defense attorney. Flashback to June 1875. Hugo, a Harvard student recently released from a sanatorium, accompanies his family on a cross-country trip. In Virginia City, Nev., he becomes fascinated with a sideshow freak, the so-called Savage Girl, allegedly raised by wolves. Hugo’s parents decide to civilize the girl, and introduce her into society on their return to New York. Zimmerman (The Orphanmaster) keeps the truth hidden until the end, combining suspense with an unsettling look into a tormented mind. Agent: Betsy Lerner, Dunow, Carlson, and Lerner. (Mar.)

Just one in so many things that might make a book a success, but nice nonetheless.
I tried to google it, and what I found is, they review 10,000 books a year. And one reviewer said he only gave 3 stars out of 87 reviews. Judging by that, the odds against getting a star are pretty long.
One or a hundred, it’s all good.
How many do they star? Only a few hundred per year, maybe? Way to go!
I thank you on her behalf.
Yes.
Wahoo! Way to go, Savage Girl!
Yay!
