This one had me at the Oscar Wilde quote in the front of the book. While it's a little superficial at times, the humor is excellent and tempered well with moments of authentic-feeling connection. I enjoyed laughing out loud and then tearing up, and I appreciate what Rowley has to say about the role that acting can play in giving one the opportunity to feel, explore, and express difficult emotions in a controlled environment.

ImperfectCJ Thinking more about this one and realizing that it feels to me a little like The Penderwicks for grown-ups. 1d

I know I‘m in that minority of unpopular opinion about this novel. Yes, it has heartwarming parts and has funny scenes. I don‘t know what to think about some supposedly funny parts. However, there were some parts related with the uncle‘s life that I felt disconnected with the general story and made me lost interest to continue reading🤷🏽‍♀️Should I read the sequel? Is it worthy? For me it was for okay, please don‘t shoot me 😳3⭐️

rwmg I wasn't that taken with it either and haven't bothered with the sequel 6mo
bthegood @Gissy and @rwmg - same here - this book was fine, didn't read any other ones in the series 🙂 6mo
Prairiegirl_reading The sequel is similar in tone. If you didn‘t love this I doubt you‘ll feel any different about the sequel. 6mo

Gissy @Prairiegirl_reading @bthegood @rwmg thank you, I‘m not going to read the sequel then. There are many other other books waiting to be read🤗📚 6mo
Suet624 No need to continue it would seem. 6mo
Gissy @Suet624 No, I won‘t. 👌I will add the book to my pile of books to sale. Trying to sale them in PangoBooks 6mo

I was sooo late to the party on this one, but as the saying goes, right book at the right time. I was looking for something to escape into and lift my spirits. This book did that for me.

This one grew on me. At first I thought it was a little bit cheesy, but somewhere around the time when Patrick fired his first agent I started to get invested and ended up liking it.

I have had this forever. It is my favourite kind of easy read, sweet, funny with a bit of sadness. Just like life should be if we are lucky

PurpleyPumpkin I have this one waiting for me. Looking forward to reading it this summer! Nice job on your reading challenge btw. 👍🏽 9mo
mcctrish @PurpleyPumpkin I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and thank you ☺️ 9mo
