Description

For everyone who’s ever felt too big, too weird, too queer—or just too much—comes a happily ever after for the rest of us.

Hollywood isn’t nice to women like Diana Smith, but that hasn’t stopped her from being unabashedly queer, plus-sized, and determined to make award-winning movies that showcase the diversity of her community. She was so close to her goal, appearing at festivals and gaining attention for her short films, when grief came and shattered Diana’s directorial dreams.

Forced to move to the suburbs with her sister and kids, the closest thing Diana gets to the movies these days is dressing the stars of them at her high-end department store job. Until one day, she gets a pity invite to a gala full of Hollywood’s most elite, where she unwittingly attracts the attention of a famous action star.

The unexpected pairing shocks their friends–and the tabloids–forcing Diana to choose between the status quo and the silver screen. For the first time in her life, doors open for Diana and the possibilities seem endless. The chance to create unforgettable films. To shake up the industry. To inspire everyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong.

But fame always comes with a cost…and to get her Hollywood ending, Diana’s going to have to go completely off-script.

For everyone who’s ever felt too big, too weird, too queer—or just too much—comes a happily ever after for the rest of us.

Hollywood isn’t nice to women like Diana Smith, but that hasn’t stopped her...

This book CONSUMED ME! I had things to do and I would put it down and 20 minutes later I was reading it again. Just one more chapter. This book was so refreshing. I cried for the inclusion of EVERY human in this story. Ultimately this book is simply about loving every human being as they are. That we do not need hate when love, understanding and acceptance are more powerful. Just love yourself as you deserve to be loved.

Lauren, oh Lauren, THANK YOU for this book! I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, but thank you Lauren! This book is for my 5 and 3 year old. To show anyone they can do and be whatever their dreams are and to go after whatever they want.

Thank you Brittany Zimmerman and NetGalley for allowing me the BEAUTIFUL GIFT to read this ARC. I was not paid for anything that I said. At 30% in I told my local library to order it and told 5 friends they needed to read it asap!!!
