Sydney based author Hayli Thomson delivers a topical but relatable debut novel about being true to yourself.
Dilemma – on one hand the
opportunity of a lifetime, but to accept it will mean telling everyone who you
really are?
Taylor Parker has always wanted
to be a comedian. So when Taylor is accepted as a finalist for a diverse
writers’ internship at Saturday Night Live – she is equal parts excited and
anxious. The opportunity will turn her world upside down.
To win, Taylor will need to
come out about both her secrets – she wants to be a comedian and also a
lesbian.
On top of that Taylor has a
crush on Salem’s most bewitching actress – out and proud classmate Charlotte
Grey.
Can Taylor be brave and tell the world who she really is? And will she get the girl?
This novel whips along with
sassy lovable characters that will have you laughing out loud. Thomson captures
the angst of Taylor’s internal voice as she wrestles with her true feelings and
ambitions.
This hilarious queer rom-com is not to be missed.
