Melodramatic

Dad always said, ‘Bad experiences make life interesting’. I’m tired of an interesting life. I’d like a dull one from now on, please. The glitz and glam of showbiz isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. As a 26-year-old actor living in London, Mel would know. After years of wasting time at fruitless auditions, dealing with constant rejection and batting off back-handed compliments, Mel’s starting to reach the end of her tether with it all. That’s until she lands a semi-substantial role in a hit movie alongside superstar heart-throb, Jack Hart. Jack is super confident, super handsome and, on face value, super arrogant — everything Mel can't stand. But when Mel gets the opportunity to break industry protocol and get to know the person behind the pretty face, she soon realises that even the most famous and successful actors have their problems. Told in a series of diary entries in which Mel muses on everything from booty calls and all-butter croissants to grief and family bonds, Melodramatic is a candid look at the mess of wires behind those big flashing lights of fame — wonderfully witty, refreshingly honest and, ultimately, hilarious. --Cover
