About Emma

Emma is an aspiring actress who comes to Hollywood, Los Angeles, in search of fame. Despite having never taken one single acting class in her life, she is very confident in her own abilities and she is very ambitious. She is a big fan of actor Nicholas Bird and director David Tarino.

Emma's fortuitous meeting with fashion designer Gino Gabardini, who nearly runs her over with his car, sparks a series of events that will put her on the path to fame. During the course of the story, you can romance multiple people at the same time, however you will be asked to pick only one person at the very end of the book.

Your romantic choices in this book influence the story, however you are able to romance multiple love interests without repercussions. An occasional banner might appear (for example: You will have to explain this to... ) however there are no real effects on the plot, as at the end of the book you will be given a chance to choose between all the available Love Interests and pick a final one, who will propose. A limited number of scenes will only be available with the character you have the most romance points with, and if you are on the path of Romance your character will be more flirty in general and occasionally kiss her way through difficult situations, even when it comes to background characters that you will not be kissing if you are on a different path.

⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS: This book contains occasional scenes that might be disturbing to some readers, however please note that despite the many misadventures the Main Character goes through, this book is a comedy so not her nor any other character in the story is ever at risk of losing their lives or being seriously hurt. The plot includes occasional scenes of violence and situations where MC life and wellbeing are threatened. For example, she will have a stalker trying to murder her in more than one occasion, she will have to fight off a brief threat of sexual assault from a sleazy film director, she will be arrested and her dog might be taken from her, she will unwittingly get high on drugs, and she will have to deal with a police officer who blackmails her into doing his bidding. None of these scenes are meant to be taken seriously, however readers' discretion is advised.
