About this listen

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, 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.

“[A] punchy, couture, queer narrative that refuses to squeeze itself into a one-size-fits-all.”—Jennifer Givhan, author of River Woman, River Demon

Lauren’s reading of her book is wonderful, really enhanced my experience of the characters and in particular the pain and sadness in certain parts and the breathy intense scenes in others!

I don’t normally read romance novels but I was drawn into reading the story due to its ‘smack you in the face’ title and knowing of Lauren through a few spaces we are both in. I love to support others in their endeavours and wanted to read it for that reason first. However I was pleasantly surprised that I got swept up in the story pretty quickly. I soon found myself doing way more hours of DIY and listening to this book than I originally intended each day, really feeling the highs and lows of Diana’s journey.

I might need to change my belief that I don’t read romance 😅

Just buy the book! ☺️

Brilliant inclusive romance that had me cheering Diana on from the start!
