At twenty-three, Ruth Saunders headed west with her seventy-year-old grandma in tow, hoping to be hired as a television writer. Four years later, sheâ??s hit the jackpot when she gets The Call: the sitcom she wrote, The Next Big Thing, has gotten the green light, and Ruthieâ??s going to be the show-runner. But her dreams of Hollywood happiness are threatened by demanding actors, number-crunching executives, an unrequited crush on a boss, and her grandmotherâ??s impending nuptials.
Set against the fascinating backdrop of Los Angeles show business culture, with an insiderâ??s ear and eye for writerâ??s rooms, bad behavior backstage and set politics, Jennifer Weinerâ??s new novel is a rollicking ride on the Hollywood rollercoaster and a heartfelt story about what itâ??s like for a young woman to love, and lose, in the land where dream.
Unabridged.
Read by Olivia Thirlby.
