Narration was good, character voices not over the top but recognizable from each other.
Atmosphere: 🤷♀️
-Atmosphere and environment are almost exclusively our MCs thoughts and musings; we spend all our time hearing what they’re thinking…doing…wondering
-Most of the story takes place in Hollywood but not very descriptive so you can imagine…well, random places in Hollywood.
Main POV: 🤓
-a recognizable but not quite “famous” British actress visiting LA to audition for pilot season, and having very recently been dumped by their cheating partner. They view acting as their life’s work but aren’t obsessed with being famous. They are highly moral, both self-doubting and self-assurred, and believe everyone has the best of intentions (tending to ignore evidence to the contrary).
Growls and Howls: 🐺
-The MC is naive and moral in a way that is difficult to believe. They don’t learn. They wholeheartedly trust complete strangers including when those people clearly have it out for them. They mistrust the American police yet run to them to report minor suspicions and not major crimes (even when they have evidence).
-The entire text is based on the MCs every thought and motivation, but their decisions are so contrary even to their own thoughts. They recognize they are doing dangerous or self-sabotaging things but keep going anyways.
-
Show’n’tell: 😕
Showy telling. Like informing the class of every thought and action involved in procuring, transporting, and revealing the crayon set about to be shown (and it’s not even a decent crayon set so now it’s just disappointing).
Reading Journey: 🤨
Get glammed up, a friend has promised you a night on the town and the Hollywood sights! Luxury car, bright lights, twisty roads for a glimpse of the Hollywood sign. Then Starbucks drive-thru and home by 9.
Possible match if you like:
-Detailed MC thought narratives
-Suspense plots driven by MC actions or lack thereof (conveniently IMO)
-Villain monologue
-Should-she-or-shouldn’t-she romance
-Light commentary on #metoo in Hollywood
