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

Oh my heart! What an exquisite and powerful story that has me giggling, crying, and swooning all the way through. To see & feel my queer, fat, neurodivergent, femme self represented with such love, authenticity, sensuality, and depth is a witnessing I hadn't realized just how much my soul has longed for. Thank you Lauren for this masterpiece, I can't wait to listen to your next creation!

Heard about this book and Lauren via Max ! Who knew worlds colliding would give me a magical book.
I am Diana !
I related so much to her, I was hooked and listen to the book non stop other than sleeping.
Although I am not in the LBGTQ… community, I am still Diana.
Such a cast on relatable characters and real challenges.
You fall in love with all of them.
You picture them in your mind.
You are there them.
Ending is just the right amount of “ending”.
Thank you Max for sharing this book.
Thank you Lauren for writing it and being the narrator!!!!

More than expected & absolutely delighted!
