In this comic tale of passion (lost and gained), the author of Wanderlust proves that second acts in love and work are definitely possible, but they can be very, very tricky to pull off.

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.
