Waiting for Perfect
(2023)(A book in the I Love LA Romantic Comedies series)
A novel by Riley E Smith
A novella of two career-oriented LA cuties overcoming their fears and finding FUN!
Maddy Gramm has spent her entire adult life being as careful as possible. She works a predictable job as a sales analyst for a logistics consulting firm (and no, she’s not exactly sure what her company does), she has a chubby bulldog who never barks, and she still lives in Pasadena, California, where she was born and raised.
But when she’s laid off from her cushy corporate gig, all her security goes out the window. At first, Maddy is adrift, but discovering her grandmother’s secret journal sparks her dormant desire for adventure.
Inspired by her nana’s initial journey from the midwest to LA in the ‘60s, Maddy follows in her grandmother’s footsteps and signs up for an acting class. Except it’s not really acting — it’s improv comedy. She thought it would be easier, but jumping up onstage with nothing to say is poison for her social anxiety.
She’s not sure how she can get through it until she meets Alex Daniels. He’s confident, laidback, and everything you could wish for from a leading man.
The only thing he wishes for is steady acting work, but after meeting Maddy in improv, he starts to wonder if maybe life could be more fun than he ever gave it credit for.
A story of life, love, and improv, join these two adventurers as they learn to stop waiting for perfect and start to say, "Yes, and..."
