''A fantastic Irish writer'' - Joanne McNally

***
Portia Daniels’ life is sorted. She has a perfect man (Jason, a hot Irish TV producer) a perfect apartment (in lower Manhattan), a perfect job (writing for TV). Best of all, unlike the rest of her family, she lives in perfect peace and obscurity.
Because it’s all about the drama for her mother – Kerry-born reality TV queen, Dessie – and sisters – Insta-guru, Vinnie, and TikTok teen sensation, Ariel.
But then Jason blows up their idyllic life, and Portia flees to LA to take refuge with her family. As she recovers amidst the chaos, Portia must face an awkward truth – unlike her, the other Daniels women aren’t fooling themselves about who they are and what they want.
Getting the biggest reality check of her life is the last thing Portia expected, but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction – even in La La Land.
