About this product

Product Information

No political science degree could ever prepare Elizabeth Miller for her new job as second assistant at The Agency, whose clients include everyone you’ve never met—but you know who they’re sleeping with. A former congressional intern in Washington, Lizzie makes a bid for a life change that lands her a job a world away, where ethics and First Amendment debates take a backseat to pleading the Fifth for ritalin-snorting boss Scott Wagner, the hottest young agent in Hollywood who devotes his days to playing online poker—that is, when he’s not closing a $30 million deal for one of his AAA-list clients. And while getting six hundred dollar highlights from Cameron D’s colorist or organizing the strippers for George C’s party come close to causing heart failure for this East Coast girl, the real dangers lurk elsewhere. But Lizzie is a survivor, and no Machiavellian assistant, lecherous producer, or power struggle at The Agency can douse her nascent dreams of climbing up the Hollywood ladder. But first she has to run down to the Coffee Bean to pick up that triple espresso, or Scott is going to throw something....For anyone who loved The Nanny Diariesor The Devil Wears Prada, The Second Assistantis a compulsively readable novel and a gleeful skewering of Tinsel Town packed with outrageous, thinly veiled stories about the deranged, the dastardly, and the unspeakably glamorous that will have tongues wagging from coast to coast.

Easy, Breezy with lots of laughs!
If you've ever had anything to do with the movie business, or if you've always wanted to, this is the book for you! Elizabeth Miller leaves a job in Washington for the bright lights of Hollywood! She's hired as a Second Assistant to an agent who works at The Agency and who is the perfect candidate for the Betty Ford Clinic. But as she makes her way through the pitfalls of the industry, she learns to navigate The Rules of Sex and Dating in Hollywood: 1. Never sleep with your boss unless you have a good sexual-harassment lawyer on retainer. 2. If you're sleeping your way up the ladder, remember it's the ugly men who are the cruelest. 3. Be prepared to tell all the details of your sexual exploits to as many people as possible as soon after the event as possible. Because his version will be ten times worse. 4. Never give stock tips, script secrets, or movie ideas to your lover. He will steal them. 5. AA, NA and SA are all good places to meet movie stars, producers, and directors if access is proving to be a problem. 6. In all reality, if you need to have sex, do it with the pool boy or craft-services guy on a movie set. You'll save yourself a lot of heartache. Does Lizzie escape the heartache? Every page has a laugh, a surprise, and characters you'll come to hate...and love. I loved it!Read full review

Cute, Refreshing and Worth Reading!
This is the first time I read anything from these authors and I have to say that I was quite impressed! It was funny, light and it gave the listener a little more insight about what goes on in the Hollywood arena. I would definitely recommend this to others!
