Review

Joanna & Sally give us a highly entertaining story in Best Supporting Actor. It’s got some drama (and not just the one they are acting in), some hurt/comfort, some laughs, and plenty of love. And the audiobook is skillfully done by Simon Goldhill.

Jay and Tag come from opposite sides of the track. Tag comes from a working-class family, and he works hard to pay the bills while chasing his dream of acting. At the same time, Jay comes from a family of money and fame.

It’s a classic situation of two men caught up in their own feelings and baggage and being unable to see the other person for who they actually are. Tag especially struggles to see past his prejudices and desire to achieve his dreams.

But damn they are fire and completely sweet once they put the work in and truly let down their guards.

Synopsis

Lights, camera…attraction!

When Tag O’Rourke, struggling actor-slash-barista, meets Jay Warren, son of acting royalty, it’s loathing at first sight. Loathing…and lust.

Tag’s dream is to act, but it’s a dream that’s crumbling beneath the weight of student debt and his family’s financial problems. If his career doesn’t take off soon, he’s going to have to get a real job. After all, feeding his family is more important than feeding his soul.

Luckily, Tag’s about to get his big break…

Jay never had to dream about acting; he was always destined to follow in his famous mother’s footsteps. But fame has its price and a traumatic experience early in Jay’s career has left him with paralysing stage fright, which is why he sticks to the safety of TV work—and avoids relationships with co-stars at all costs.

Unfortunately, Jay’s safe world is about to be rocked…

After an ill-judged yet mind-blowing night together, Jay and Tag part acrimoniously. So it’s a nasty shock when they discover that they’ve been cast in a two-man play that could launch Tag’s career and finally get Jay back onto the stage where he belongs.

Sure, it’s not ideal, but how bad can working with your arch-nemesis be?

All they have to do is survive six weeks rehearsing together and navigate a cast of smarmy festival directors, terrible landladies, and vengeful journalists. Oh, and try not to fall in love before the curtain rises…

Break a leg!
