SIZZLE REEL

An aspiring cinematographer finds herself torn between an A-list actress and her closest friend.

Luna Roth didn't think her life would change much when she decided to come out as bisexual, but she didn't expect to be such a disaster at it, either. The truth is she's still trying to figure out exactly who to come out to and how. Sharing the news with her close friends? Somewhat nerve-wracking, but she can pull it off. Telling her parents? That's a different story. At the same time, Luna is trying to work her way up the ladder in the film industry, but leaving her job as a personal assistant to a temperamental talent manager without a safety net in place is easier said than done. When she collides with gorgeous actress Valeria Sullivan at the office, Luna isn't just bowled over by her first real crush since coming out; it occurs to her that Valeria, who is trying to become a director, might be just the woman to help her move up in her career. With the aid of Romy, her best friend, Luna decides to see how far she can go with Valeria as her advocate—not just in Hollywood, but maybe when it comes to figuring out what she likes in the bedroom, too, if the interest is mutual. Greenwald's debut is an engaging comedy of errors that displays an insider's familiarity with life on a movie set, but the true romance at its heart takes a back seat to the love triangle that dominates the plot. Luna's desire to have Valeria introduce her to the ins and outs of intimacy contributes to both her and the reader missing out on what could have been essential space devoted to more of her natural chemistry with Romy.

An unfiltered comedy about self-discovery and fulfillment.
