Blurb:

She watched everyone else live big. Now it’s her turn.

Lana Moreno has made a career out of keeping things running behind the scenes. Weddings, baby showers, fundraisers—you name it, she’s quietly managing the snacks and the spreadsheets. But when she’s offered a one-week escape to a version of her life where she finally said yes to herself?

She wakes up loud, bold, and... accidentally famous.

In this new timeline, Lana is a viral podcast host with statement lipstick, a personal brand, and a not-so-subtle glow-up. The biggest shock of all? Her best friend’s older brother—the one she’s secretly crushed on for years—is not just noticing her… he’s her ex.

As Lana navigates viral fame, forgotten friendships, and emotional fallout, she begins to wonder: is confidence something you fake until you feel it? Or is it something you quietly claim for yourself?

Heartfelt, funny, and full of second chances, Becoming a Bolder Lana is a clean romantic comedy about learning to speak up, show up, and take up space—even if your voice shakes.

For fans of:
✨ Best friend’s sibling romance
✨ Alternate life glow-ups
✨ Soft girl turns bold
✨ Clean, cozy love stories with emotional depth

My Review:

Lana has the opportunity to transform herself into a more assertive and confident version of who she is. Instead of always playing a supporting role and prioritizing others, she can now pursue her own desires and ambitions.

Imagine how her life would change if she could finally act on her long-held secret crush. Would she become the person she's always wanted to be, or would this new chapter alter her in unexpected ways?

Even if she doesn't take that leap, the lessons she learns could still have a profound impact on her old life. Would she ever be the same after this transformative experience? Ultimately, which version of Lana is the true her - the familiar self or the bolder, reimagined persona?

So many unanswered questions, questions that can only be answered by reading Becoming a Bolder Lana, the second story in Daisy Landish's Timeline Retreats series. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on this captivating journey. Grab your copy today and dive into Lana's world to discover what happens.
