The Chancer by Fiona Graham
4.0

This is a fun, quick read and a really lovely debut novel. Donnie is unrelentingly optimistic and fun to follow around. If you'd enjoy reading about a hopeful Irish character blundering their way through Hollywood in the 80s/90s this is the one for you. Donnie is from a small Irish town and after a surprise inheritance decides to chase his dreams of being an actor and brings his positive energy and unintentional manifesting to LA. This is silly, hopeful, and surprisingly sweet.
