'Katie Wall's sweet adventure exploring the nature of ambition and the pursuit of love is well-written, humorous and revealing. Well worth a read. I'll never use the word "napkin" in restaurant again!'
Claudia Karvan
'Here's a book bound to win hearts, so funny and likeable is the lead character, Sunny, and so endearing the self-deprecating stream of consciousness she trickles into this story... The writing style is clipped, funny and intelligent all at once and the story is informed by the author's first-hand knowledge as an Australian actor taking a dip in the very big pond that is the Hollywood film industry. This easy breezy read is great fun with plenty of laughs, and leaves you feeling like you've just caught up with a totally fabulous friend.'
(Courier Mail )
Australian actress Katie Wall's debut novel is filled with enough stardust, humour and romance to make this a great book to curl up with a big glass of wine.'
(Jetstar Magazine)
'Funny, upbeat and sweet, this is the tale of an innocent twentysomething Australian in the US ...One reason this book works well is the light touch of its humour. There are many sharp moments.'

In this charming and quirky novel, Sunday "Sunny" Triggs is a young Australian actress trying to make it in Hollywood. Both a witty satire on the Los Angeles scene and a romantic comedy about a woman trying to find herself, this narrative follows Sunny as she auditions for parts, attends the Sunday Film Festival, negotiates relationships, and struggles to recognize what and, more importantly, who matters to her most. Filled with humor and heart, this story looks at the American film industry from an Australian standpoint.
