The Truth About My Success

By: Dyan Sheldon

Narrated by: Tara Sands

What happens when a bratty teenage star and a hardworking waitress get a taste of each other's worlds? Featuring the best-selling Dyan Sheldon at her snarky, entertaining best.

Meanwhile Paloma's worried agent happens upon Oona Ginness working in a coffee shop. Maybe she's not as tall or as blonde as Paloma, but small details aside, they really might be twins. So a plan is born: What if they sent Paloma to a boot camp to become a better person and put the malleable and much nicer Oona in her place? Oona thinks it's a stupid idea, but the money is hard to resist, given her family's dire circumstances. What does she have to lose?

But plans don't always work out the way they're supposed to....
