- Being a reporter, even one who just writes society and art fest pieces, is not always as simple as it looks to an outsider. First you have interns to look after, and once in a while, you have to deal with those who slip through the cracks and are not good at their chosen career choice, not to mention, bosses who feel they own you.

- Making the decision to change employers, Shelby McCoy has managed to make a few unknown enemies in the process. Life as Shelby knew it is taking a curve ball, throwing off vibes in every direction, personally and otherwise. Her long time fascination with Benjamin Keith is finally starting to look up. The new job is giving into her need to be a true journalist and not just a fluff writer.

- With the break-ins happening at Kirby Towers, an archaeology site, Shelby is drawn in to reporting and breaking the story just by happening upon key elements. Someone starts warning her off; vandals hit her house, steal her dog, and in general, terrorize Shelby. While repairs are being done to her house, Shelby moves in with Benjamin Keith, and their relationship grows.

- The combination of characters works well with each other, lending strength where one might have been lacking, enabling the strength of each to show through, and connecting like a well-knitted community. Not all is rosy perfect though; each character has its faults, which leave the reader without the total loss of reality.

- Connie Gotsch has written a very good mystery, and does not away the whole whodunit too soon so that the reader does not get bored early on. Snap Me a Future is full of intrigue and mystery, not just in the basic overall plot, but the many minor inter-relationship ones — things most of us deal with on a daily basis — that help make this a moving book.
