Ambrosia Lee drops the mic / Patricia Park.

Summary:

"They say Hollywood is like high school, and has-been child actor Ambrosia Lee feels like she's at the bottom of the social ladder. Her acting career peaked at the age of eleven-- then she was unceremoniously fired from her big break due to her weight. Now after years of rejections and backstabbing auditions, teenage Ambrosia turns to stand-up to speak her truth. It's the perfect way to rant about everything that's been bothering her: divorced parents dynamics, Asian stereotypes, and Hollywood drama. It also doesn't hurt that a cute boy is helping her learn the ropes of a comedy routine. It's all laughs...but comedy clubs can be just as toxic as the Hollywood complex she always mocks. Can Ambrosia be her true self both on and off the mic? Patricia Park's humorous new novel explores the complicated worlds of Hollywood and comedy clubs, body image standards, and what it takes to succeed." -- Provided by publisher.
