Blockbuster #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner returns with an irresistible story about a young woman trying to make it in Hollywoodâ¦
Actors arenât the only ones trying to make it in Hollywood.â¦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 Ruthieâs 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 grandmotherâs impending nuptials.
Set against the fascinating backdrop of Los Angeles show business culture, with an insiderâs ear for writerâs room showdowns and an eye for bad backstage behavior and set politics, Jennifer Weinerâs new novel is a rollicking ride on the Hollywood roller coaster, a heartfelt story about what itâs like for a young woman to love, and lose, in the land where dreams come true.
