Dani has big dreams. In fact, she lives her life in a complete fantasy - pretending she's a famous actress with an amazing husband and adoring kids. The problem is that her dreams aren't her reality. When she wakes up, she realizes that she is just out of college and working in a costume shop. She's dressing actors instead of being one, and sacrificing herself for a guy who treats her terribly.

She's never thought much of herself using those 20 extra pounds as an excuse because she could always lose the weight and become a famous actress. And her boyfriend is bound to propose, and once he does they will live out their storybook romance, right? After a series of unfortunate reality checks, Dani finds herself at rock bottom. Even her best and only friend Tasha can't pull her out of her misery.

Then she meets Daisy, a film star, who offers Dani a job as her personal wardrobe assistant on a film in Paris! Dani takes the offer and runs away from everything she knows, terrified that she will be discovered as a fraud and a fake and be sent back home to face her ultimate failure. Or she can change just enough so that she belongs in the film business and show the world what she really has locked inside of her? Starlet is a book about self-discovery, love, and choosing the path most people would be too afraid to consider traveling down.
