Set behind the scenes of America's most popular guilty
pleasure--reality TV--Reality Jane delivers a
high-spirited,
delicious tale of finding love and a career in Hollywood
while juggling lipo envy, singlehood angst, and the
resounding results of success. Reality Jane follows Jane Kaufman, a Canadian journalist
who, because of a lucky connection, finds herself in LA as a
producer on a hot new reality show. Mingling with rock
stars, attending Grammy parties, and visiting the Sex Kitten
Mansion, Jane sees her new career as a one-way ticket to the
big-time! But for a small-town girl thrust into the
cutthroat Hollywood scene, 90- hour work weeks, heartless
bosses, and superficial womanizers are a rude awakening. Just when her love life seems at its bleakest, along come
not one but two guys vying for her heart: hunky Alex, a hot
up-and-coming reality show host, and Grant, a sweet, sincere
cameraman who's unfazed by Hollywood fame. With a sizzling
sex life on the horizon, and maybe even true love, Jane's
fondest hopes seem en-route to full realization when she
lands the cherry gig of all time: a producer's post on TV's
hottest new self-help talk show. But the deeper Jane ventures into reality TV, the more
completely un-real her life-personal and
professional-becomes. And the realities of life
behind-the-scenes-like goading people to confess their
deepest, darkest secrets on cue-are chipping away at her
very soul. Lead character (and narrator) Jane embodies the perfect
blend of smart-ass sarcasm, weary cynicism, and hopeful
romanticism to appeal to today's readers. She also
possesses a biting, acerbic wit that casts devilish,
laugh-out-loud observations on the Hollywood scene, which
are sure to please celeb watchers and reality show junkies
alike. A hugely entertaining glimpse at the world of reality TV
from one of its own, who's lived and breathed the business
practically since its inception, Reality Jane is the
chick-lit novel that reality TV junkies and chick-lit
enthusiasts have long been waiting for.
