Enrolling in a drama course and making ends meet by working as a waitress, Emily hits the audition circuit. Has she made the right decision?
Originally published as Learning to Fly in 2015, this tale about overcoming obstacles to chase your dreams was an enjoyable, uplifting read. With myraid interesting scenes involving auditions and acting roles – made all the more authentic due to the character mirroring the author’s own career change - it did, however, feel as if the book lacked a bit of cohesion in terms of the overall plot.
