A gritty look at hope and dreams coming true in the places you least expect!
I recently read Silver Lights, by Michelle Lynn, and was impressed to discover a quick short read chocked full of beautiful imagery and symbolism as well a gritty hard hitting truth and situations. The screen play follows Skylar Lynn a dreamer who feels destined for a successful role in the performing arts. However, as dream roles and the traditional success in New York begins to prove elusive, will Skylar ever find her place in the spot light? Or will she find her place once she begins to look at certain opportunities in a new way?
The imagery of the playground and broken glass and sour apple all speak to the life long dreams and experiences Skylar has in discovering and chasing her dream in the spotlight. Also, the constant guiding “silver lights" seem to me to be more of a metaphor of creativity, dreaming, determination, focus, drive, intuition, and an unwilling resolve to not give up. The lights not only guide her to her dream as a child, but also act as signs and guiding forces in finding he place to shine as she grows and explores the different avenues in New York.
However, I think what I liked most about this screen play is how beautifully the author shows us that not all our dreams end up looking and being exactly like we think. Sometimes it take a little bit of creativity, hard work, focus, openness, and bravery to turn a situation into your dream or an avenue to get to your dream.
Although, this is a gritty deep dark look at the adult entertainment industry, it is also full of hope, peppered with light witty humor, and a huge drive to route for the underdog. I highly recommend

Not all stages shine
"Everyone dreams of the day he or she lands the role of a lifetime. The role in your heart you were destined for, the one you have been dreaming of since you could talk."
Skylar wants to be a star. Throughout her life, she strived for one thing to go to the City of Dreams and be a star. After, her trip to the big apple, she discovered that life there is far harder than she ever believed. Her life leads her to many stages to lead her to the ultimate dream to write her own screenplay.
The screenplay is a riveting tale that allows you to see the other side of what life is like when you chase your dreams in the big city. It was well written and I found the story entertaining. I was a little disappointed it is written in screenplay form that for me took away from the story from me. I found her viewing life as parts in a large play quite insightful and thought to provoke a way to view the world as a stage. You did get to have insight into the character Skylar and you can see how some of her decisions are made out survival. I find yourself rooting for Skylar and hoping that she will get her big break. I feel this is a book for all ages especially young women who are considering chasing their dreams in the big city. I would love to see if this book is written in a short story form.

One word “Dire’. The book doesn’t know if it’s a script or a book. Poorly written. Gave up at 20%.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the arc in return for an honest review.
