Customer Reviews

Great read!

I had read the second assistant when it came it out and thought it was okay but not oustanding. This newest additional far outweighs the first book. Once I started reading it I could barely put it down. If you liked Clare Naylor's Dog Handling then you will like this!

Loved the Book

The book met my expectations of a fun and easy read with great insights into the truth behind the entertainment world. If you liked the Devil Wears Prada, you will like this book as well.

Absolutely Hilarious!

Just as funny as The Second Assistant. I laughed out loud so many times people were beginning to wonder what I was reading. Too good to put down!

Great Book

I loved this book. I read the first on The Second Assistant over a year ago and had no idea there would be a sequel. I'm so glad there was. I'm now hoping there will be a third one. I would recommend this book to anyone!!!!!

Better than the 1st Book in the series.

I had read the Second Assistant and loved it so I picked up the First Assistant with some hope that it would be a good read. I was definitely not disappointed. I found this book was filled with plenty of LOL sequences. You find yourself barracking for Lizzie and she does not disapoint. If you want a great read either by the pool or inside on a cold day then this book is a must. Perhaps the best Chick-Lit book I have read this year. Without giving too much away I think there will be a third book.
