Amy Spencer, a young, hopeful, dreamy actress, plunges headfirst into the starring role of an edgy TV weekly drama. Culwell perfectly captures Amy's innocence and naivete. I fell in love with Amy and identified with her. How can one resist a character who embodies the sweet idealism of youth?
Amy's idealism slowly erodes through three seasons on Autumn Leaves. Bit by bit, Amy compromises to keep her acting job. Bit by bit, Amy becomes one of those stars you read about in People or watch on Entertainment Tonight. But throughout the journey, Culwell shows the emptiness and desolation Amy feels inside which no one else understands except the reader who witnesses everything.
An excellent read for anyone who has followed a dream only to be blindsided by the fulfillment of that dream and the costs that it entails.
I am looking forward to Culwell's next book. I will definitely pick it up.
