Actors aren’t the only ones trying to make it in Hollywood.…
At twenty-three, Ruth Saunders left her childhood home in
Massachusetts and headed west with her seventy-year-old
grandma in tow, hoping to make it as a screenwriter. Six
years later, she hits the jackpot when she gets The Call:
the sitcom she wrote, The Next Best Thing, has gotten the
green light, and Ruthie’s going to be the showrunner. But
her dreams of Hollywood happiness are threatened by
demanding actors, number-crunching executives, an unrequited
crush on her boss, and her grandmother’s impending nuptials.
Set against the fascinating backdrop of Los Angeles show
business culture, with an insider’s ear for writer’s room
showdowns and an eye for bad backstage behavior and set
politics, Jennifer Weiner’s new novel is a rollicking ride
on the Hollywood roller coaster, a heartfelt story about
what it’s like for a young woman to love, and lose, in the
land where dreams come true.
