Becca moves to L.A. after high school with a dream of becoming an actress--and not much more. Despite humiliating auditions, awkward agent meetings, and a grueling waitressing job, Becca perseveres, supported by a new friend and a cute guy from her apartment building. Becca's spirit and determination will keep readers engaged, and her eventual success, while unrealistic, feels earned.
