Best friends Carter, Naya and Greta all want the same thing - to become Australia’s most successful TV presenter - but they couldn’t be more different. Carter is beautiful and bold, grabbing the spotlight with both hands. Naya is diligent and cautious, balancing ambition with loyalty. Greta is impulsive and driven, never afraid to speak her mind.

Tunny is simply a masterful fiction writer.’ Jessie Stephens, author of Something Bad is Going to Happen
