The Second Assistant: A Tale from the Bottom of the Hollywood Ladder by Mimi Hare, Clare Naylor

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Miller gets a job as a second assistant at The Agency. A former Washington intern, she is somewhat out of her element. Her job duties include answering the phone and keeping her boss Scott Wagner happy and out of trouble. When Lizzie comes close to losing her job after a mix-up, she thinks she’s made a mistake coming out to Hollywood, but as she fills out résumé’s to send to different politicians, she realizes that “the scene” has really grown on her. Lizzie hopes to find friends and companionship, but her first friend (and first assistant) Lara warns her about dating Hollywood men. And none of the guys she meets outside of the Hollywood scene seem to be the right type. As the conflict between her personal life and her work life build, there is much going on behind the scenes that even a (new) Hollywood girl like herself can’t predict.

My Rating: 3/5
The Second Assistant wasn't highly exciting and was at times predictible. But overall it was a light and fun book to read.
