Taylor Henning dreamed of working in the movies one way or another. She discovered right away that she could not act, She developed stage fright and seemed to stutter with any word that stared with an S. Then she thought she could be a director. Well that wouldn’t fly either. For some reason she had a hard time telling people what to do, and working an editing machine.. forget that idea. Finally she decided she could be an assistant and work behind the scenes.

Finally landing a job as the second assistant to Iris Whitaker, she moves from Connecticut to California, and ready to take on the movie scene by storm. But right off she kept putting her foot in her mouth. Then she meets the first assistant Kylie. Nothing like feeling a little put down and feel a little lower than the ground she walks on. Listening to Kylie almost causes Taylor to lose her job. Then she meets Quinn, her bosses daughter. Things are now changing, from a loser to a winner, from being pushed around to being a leader. Can this sixteen year old diva teach Taylor the ropes of the movie industry. Can she beat Kylie at her own game. As she is encouraged to steal Kylie’s boyfriend, she never expected to fall in love with him. Can she still keep her little mean streak she has developed but still to her own self be true.

This was a delightful, fast and enjoyable read. Taylor is the perfect example of what you would call the Low Man on the Totem Pole. But as Taylor turns the tables you can’t help but urge her on. If you love to read Chick Lit books then I recommend getting a copy of “Hollywood Is Like High School With Money.”
