Orla's journey in Not That Kind Of Hero explores her struggle between pursuing her dreams and fulfilling family responsibilities while navigating romance and friendship.

In Not That Kind Of Hero, Orla embarks on a transformative journey as she enrolls in a prestigious drama course, stepping into the spotlight for the very first time. This new chapter in her life brings both excitement and challenges, as she grapples with feelings of inadequacy among her more experienced peers. While her classmates seem to effortlessly shine, Orla must balance her passion for acting with the responsibilities that come from earning her own pocket money and managing her home life. This internal conflict raises a poignant question: doesn't she deserve to pursue her own dreams?

As Orla navigates the complexities of her new environment, she discovers the thrill of being center-stage and the unexpected attention from Cass, a charming fellow student. Their budding romance adds a layer of depth to her experience, making her wonder if she can truly have it all. However, as life-changing auditions approach, Orla faces an impossible choice that forces her to weigh the importance of her newfound friendships against her own aspirations.

Not That Kind Of Hero beautifully captures the struggles of self-discovery and the courage it takes to prioritize one's own dreams. Orla's journey is a heartfelt exploration of identity, ambition, and the sacrifices we make for those we love, ultimately leading her to confront what it means to be a hero in her own story.
