Book excerpt: After four years living abroad, BunnyLee returns to Los Angeles-where all her friends are seeking fame-and unwittingly gets an overdose of tabloid celebrity. An infomercial she shot before she left has become a social media meme. People mimic her online and off. Strangers stalk her for selfies. She retreats to the compound of an actor, Buck LeGrande, whose career is derailed by a viral YouTube out-take of an unsavory dust-up on Sesame Street. He too is lying-low from the paparazzi. This legendary Hollywood bachelor has a storied reputation and BunnyLee is careful to keep things platonic. Not so, Buck: he risks further tarnishing his name by crossing a picket line to buy BunnyLee a dog--that pees his bed, scratches his hand and makes off with his toupee--turning a heartfelt gesture into a cringe-worthy mess. BunnyLee realizes she has fallen hard for Buck. She takes his Mustang and heads for the foothills with her puppy on a frenzied road trip-confronting obstacles at a roadside gas station, a new-age spa, and a county fair-where she finally learns the truth behind Buck's infamy. Five Times Lucky is an odyssey. It is a road trip through a fractured America where people inadvertently bump-up against each other's values. For BunnyLee, it is a quest for what is true.
