Andi wants to be a stand-up comic but in the meantime she's got to hang on to the day job down at the pound shop.

It's not exactly showbiz, but it helps to have a sense of humour when you're trying to sell badly painted ornamental cats and bright blue toilet brushes.

Her love life is a bit of a joke too. But could be a lot better if only Dean, her best friend Ellen's twin brother, would just get the hint. "I think we should just be friends," Andi told him. But, it has been a year and a half and he still expects them to get back together.

When Andi bumps into Tony, an up-an-coming comedian, who happens to be good-looking, they hit it off immediately and now he wants her to write some material for him. Andi's sure that this will take her a step closer to her dream of becoming a comedian herself.

But the road to stardom is not going to be easy. Especially if her disapproving mother and paranoid and panicky older sister have any say in it.

 

 
With all the Book Break reads I've been experiencing lately I will probably need a chill out chick lit book some time soon. I'm not entirely sure this'll do the job, but I thought it was a good bet. After all, if you're making your lead character a comedian you'd sure as hell better be able to write funny!
