BEST SUPPORTING ROLE bySue Margolis is funny. Right down
to the next door
neighbor who has phone sex while nursing her infant. I
found myself wondering what my life would be like if all
these changes happened to me. Sue Margolis describes
how funny it is to try and get a bra to fit you right.
Who
would have thought? I love how she lets us in on how
phone sex operators really work. Maybe I can do that as
a
side job.
Sue Margolis also tells what it is like for an actor to
get
a supporting role in a play I really enjoyed BEST
SUPPORTING ROLE
SUMMARY
Sue Margolis’s “sexy British romp[s]” (USA Today) have
captivated readers who enjoy an “irreverent, sharp-witted
look at love and dating” (Houston Chronicle). Now she
returns with a novel about a suddenly single mom whose
life
needs a lift. When her gambling addict husband died, Sarah Green was
left
penniless—and with two children to raise. Since then,
she’s
been desperate to keep her professional and personal lives
on firm financial footing. And what could be safer than
dating an accountant and working at a non-emergency crime
help line? But then Sarah’s aunt dies, leaving Sarah her once
famous—now flailing—lingerie shop. With her fashion
background, Sarah reluctantly decides to make a go of it,
even if that means breaking up with her too-prudent
boyfriend over the risk. Suddenly Sarah finds herself falling for Hugh, the
handsome
struggling actor she hired to renovate her new boutique,
and
entering a prestigious lingerie competition. Taking
chances
has never been her forte, but the built-in support of
family
and friends could give her the boost she’s been looking
for....
