To fall or not to fall
Grace
There are only two things in life I can’t life coffee and acting. The first is easy to get. The second… not so much.
The life of an actress is anything but easy.
Especially when you cross paths with the rudest, most disdainful director imaginable.
Still, I’m not willing to let my lifelong dream slip away, even if that means obeying Dylan Walter.
Dylan
After years of hard work and sleepless nights, I know this play could be the one to finally change my life and put my name out there.
But for that, I need the right cast —experienced, disciplined and capable of following orders.
Just the opposite of the girl on stage, who challenges my every word with her sharp wit and cotton-candy-colored hair.
She’s exactly what I don’t need.
And I hate the fact that she might be the most talented actress I’ve ever seen.
A feel-good romantic novella that will make you want to dust off your acting skills… and maybe fall in love with your director.
If you
-Grumpy sunshine
-Actress & director romance
-Theater and performing arts setting
-Short, heartwarming romantic reads
Then this feel-good novella is for you.

“If being childish implies that you get excited over everything and you put passion into whatever it is that you’re doing, then yeah, I guess we could say you are, but that sounds like a positive thing to me."
A very cute short novella!
Grace is an actress and she's about to audition for a fantastic play. The only problem is the grumpy director of the play, Dylan, who is also kind of hot. Dylan is working really hard for his new play to succeed and he needs the perfect cast for that. So when a candy-colored hair girl comes to the audition and challenges him... he hates to admit that he might have found the female lead.
This was a fantastic romance. It's a novella so it's quite short but it's so cute and warm and a feel-good story. The characters were so much fun, I loved Waffle. And the friendships were really beautiful too. I really loved it.
The quote deeply moved me, I stand by that quote. Sometimes we think we're childish but that also makes us put passion in what we love. Amazing quote!
The cover is gorgeous! I love it so much, the colors, the style and everything, I feel like that needed to be said!
