My Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
I loved the sound of this
book from the start, because it includes theatre, the West End and much more.
The main character is Emma
Forsyth, who is a forty-year-old stewardess, has everything and is happy with
her pilot boyfriend. However, he breakes up with her and that’s when everything changes. She gets into a big
crisis and needs a change. She finally follows her dreams and wants to become a
successful actress, hopefully on the West End.
She goes from casting to
audition and tries out for various roles, whether it’s for a TV series, play or musical. I loved
getting inside into this industry and I really wanted her to land a dream role.
To actually afford living, she starts working at an Italian restaurant, where
she meets some great people. They become a big part of her life and also help
her along the way.
I really liked the idea
behind this book, but the plot moved way to fast for my taste. There were big
jumps and therefore also gaps in the storyline. I felt that it got messy at
times and details were missing.
Tghe message behind it is
very clear though and I think Emma is a great main character and I loved
following her around. She takes a second chance at life and learns a lot. Of
course the riomance part is very important to mention as well, let me just say:
Italian charm.
A very sweet and adorable
read, not more unfortunately.
