SHANE MILLER SLEEP DIARY:
Went to
bed at: Late.
How long
it took to fall asleep: Forever. I have insomnia. Duh.
Number
of caffeinated beverages you had consumed: Zero. Thanks for advising me to
quit!
My stress level is off the charts.
I can’t sleep right on a normal day, and lately my days are filled with
the best kind of chaos.
My ex-wife and husband number two are filming in Poland for three
months,
so I’m turning down movie parts to focus on the most important role of
my life—
impossibly charming and somewhat capable young single dad.
My son won’t stop asking questions.
My daughter won’t brush her teeth unless I sing her showtunes.
Our regular nanny quit.
The only person I could trust to hire as a temp nanny is my best
friend’s sister.
If Mary Poppins and Bill Murray had a baby it would be Willa.
Fresh out of grad school and beautifully weird.
She hates my movies, and my kids adore her.
I couldn’t sleep last night because she wasn’t here.
Turns out I can’t sleep unless she’s in my house now.
Turns out she’s what’s been missing from my life all along.
If my friend had any idea what I want to do to his gorgeous
troublemaker of a sister,
he would smother me with a pillow.
The chances of us succeeding as a couple are about as good as that
little indie movie
that I made being a huge hit.
But it’s a chance I’m going to take.
Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring
got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year
career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly
wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and
then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific
Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn't allowed to write
about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing
dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.

Mary Poppins new day with a Disney twist! Love it! In this story we meet the performer (Shane) and the perfumer (Willa) who both log a diary for two different reasons. It was nice to read the dual POV and diary entries cause some of those where pretty funny. Willa has always been quirky even when she met Shane years ago when her brother, Nico worked on the TV show with Shane. She is completely out of the Hollywood elements, but for some reason her weirdness works in the Miller household. Who knew that when it comes to insomnia, you just have a quirky perfumer stay in your house! HaHa Kidding aside this was a great build in story and something I could see occurring in real life Hollywood. This is my first read by this author and it won't be the last one.
