The First Assistant: A Continuing Tale from Behind the Hollywood Curtain (Lizzie Miller) - Softcover
Synopsis
For readers of The Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries, the further fortunes of everyone's favorite assistant as she struggles to keep her footing on Hollywood's slippery slope
In the bestselling The Second Assistant, readers fell in love with smart, witty East Coast girl Elizabeth Miller. Now that Lizzie has been promoted, can she still keep her pumps firmly on the ground in the city of stars? With a viperish subordinate after her job, the world's hottest teen starlet to keep out of trouble and a boyfriend on location with a beautiful actress, she certainly has her hands full.
The satire is sharper than ever as Naylor and Hare take another wry and hilarious look at the wheeling, dealing, schmoozing, and snubbing that make Hollywood the cutthroat capital of the world. The First Assistant is a lesson in how to survive in a town where tonight's Oscar frock is tomorrow's laughing stock.

From AudioFile
Lizzie Miller, a sort of Bridget Jones in Hollywood, is first assistant to the head of a major talent agency. She also has a famous director boyfriend, a second assistant who behaves like a tarantula, and a pal who cheated her out of producer credit on a movie she helped him set up. He gives the credit back, though, when an early screening goes badly and he wants to share the blame. There is something oddly low-energy about Shelly Frasier's reading, though she is thoroughly adept and the story itself is a fairy tale comic romp. Frasier's Lizzie is a loveable goofball, and even her libertine but loyal teen screen diva, Emerald, charms. It's all daft, but a lot of fun.
