Contemporary Chick Lit
After losing a job, boyfriend, and apartment all within
one kick-me-when-I'm-down week, Alice Lewis desperately
needs a break. So when an old pal sweeps into London and
offers her escape, Alice jumps at the chance—and onto the
next plane to Los Angeles, the city of . . . yeah, right.
L.A. turns out to be a little less "angelic" than the down-
to-earth English girl anticipated. For one, there's the
new nine-to-five: the unbelievably glamorous, frenzied
chore of coddling (doing PR for) the stars—not to mention
the bevy of gorgeous, stick-thin models who suddenly
appear in Alice's orbit and the suntan/convertible
lifestyle that taunts her pasty-white self (starting with
her thighs). And just when she thinks her new life
couldn't get any more surreal, Alice acquires that most
American of accessories: her very own stalker. While the B-list actresses grumble how unfair it is that
Alice gets a stalker and they don't, Alice tries to figure
out who the mystery man leaving her poems and flowers
could be. Is it Charlie, the slick but twisted talent
agent? Or Paddy, the hot Irish director who has eyes for
any breathing woman? Or maybe it's Tommy, the unbelievably
beautiful and totally wasted movie star? Because if truth
be told, Alice doesn't think it's all that strange, this
stalker business. In fact, she's pretty sure it's
downright romantic . . .
