Garfield is a single-book series containing Notorious, published in 2001. The novel is set in Thompson’s preferred small-town world, where everybody knows everybody and a person’s reputation can be both a shield and a trap.
Thompson uses the title’s promise of notoriety to set up a romance between characters who have to overcome what other people think of them. It is a theme she returns to across her body of work: the gap between who someone appears to be and who they actually are, explored through humor and romantic chemistry.
