Be brave enough to go big.
Okay first of all this book was laugh out loud hilarious. Like I legit busted out laughing the whole way through. The characters were just gems and I loved the movie quotes at the beginning of the chapters and the music lyrics throughout. (As someone who once wanted to be a music supervisor herself this just was so relatable)
I do have to mention though as someone who personally struggles with emetophobia - this book could be triggering. There is one scene in particular (that goes on for several pages) and then there is mention of words relating to said thing a lot throughout the book, or maybe i just noticed it more bc of my phobia. But all that aside this book was still a 5 star read for me!
