Synopsis

In The Second Assistant, readers across the country found a heroine they loved to love in Lizzie Miller, the smart and witty East Coast girl clinging for dear life to the bottom rung of the Hollywood ladder. But no more coffee runs and sorting thumbtacks by color for Lizzie; she's been promoted. As first assistant to Scott Wagner, now president of The Agency and one of Hollywood's premiere movers and shakers, she's making decisions and learning the ins and outs of the business. But unlike the other airhead assistants, she's not being wooed by the glamour and mystique of Lala Land. At least, that's what she tells herself. But with a fabulous boyfriend and visions of Harry Winston diamonds and a black AmEx dancing in her head, it is getting harder for Lizzie to keep her pumps firmly on the ground.

In The First Assistant, Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare have again joined forces to take a wry and hilarious look at the wheeling, dealing, schmoozing, and snubbing that make Hollywood the cutthroat capital of the world. Readers are hungry for more-and The First Assistant is just the romp into the red-carpet world that they crave.

This follow-up to "The Second Assistant," obviously planned as a pair, continues the adventures of the somewhat naive Lizzie Miller in Hollywood. Having ended the first volume promoted to First Assistant, she faces a series of disasters that see her dispatched to Thailand as the chaperone of a wild,......more

Goodreads review by Michelle

This is not a genre that I typically read - but it was given to me and I figured I’d give it a shot. I was surprised with how much i liked it - it was almost a guilty pleasure - it was the reality tv of books. Enough drama and action to keep The reader engaged. I enjoyed it so much that I want to che......more

Goodreads review by Sarah

Um it’s fine… it’s a bit cringe. Seems like it was rushed. I found many characters so forgettable that but the time they were mentioned again in the third act I had to figure out who they were Many of the characters are not believable and just seem like sensational caricatures. It feels icky......more
