Unveiling the Dark Secrets Behind a Small-Town Girl’s Hollywood Dream: Courtney Kocak’s Untamed Journey
Review by Elizabeth Austin
Courtney Kocak’s Girl Gone Wild: The Hollywood Misadventures of a Small-Town Girl (Trio House Press; April 2026) opens with the author at twenty years old, alone in a gray Chevy Corsica, rationing Adderall through the Rockies, and belting Lisa Loeb into the Utah dark. She’s driving through the night on nothing but a cassette wired into a Discman and sheer will, and by the time a stranger’s headlights pull up beside her at a desolate rest stop, you’re fully in her hands. She’s heading to Hollywood, and immediately you settle in, because you know this is going to be a ride.
