What makes Lizzie run?

Part chick lit, part movie biz satire, this book has a clever premise, tart characters, very funny dialogue, and some comically spirited love scenes. It's a story about a cynical, burnt-out development exec who has to turn a raw, hapless, would-be screenwriter into a Hollywood "player" to win her treasured severance package. The love object is overshadowed by the secondary characters, but the plot builds to a zany climax and ends on a surprisingly sweet and satisfying note, as the dispirited heroine, Lizzie Hubbard, slowly gets her groove back. A hoot for anyone working in the movie business, and a sharp cautionary tale for anyone thinking about it.
