I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
Maddy Carson is a mass of contradictions. She loves her job as Script Supervisor on a hit TV show, but hates “Hollywood.” Super-organized and down-to-earth, Maddy is clearly one of the best at her job, and her strict dating rule – “No Actors!” – helps her keep focused on her career. However, a budding relationship with Craig, one of the executives at her company, may even propel her into the big leagues. Could Wolf County, her beloved hometown in the mountains, be saved from a financial crisis by creating a reality show featuring the eccentrics in the small ski village? Maddy is determined to try, even when she learns that Craig’s agenda doesn’t exactly line up with her altruistic goal.
Meanwhile, Maddy still has a full-time job to manage, her family to deal with, and a gorgeous new actor, Adam Devin, determined to wear down her resistance. Eventually Maddy must learn to break all her self-imposed rules and simply follow her heart.
Scared Scriptless offers an engagingly relatable heroine, laugh-out-loud humor, and a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how television is made.
Review:
Scared Scriptless immediately called out to me as a book I would enjoy reading, and I did just that. We kind of get the best of both worlds – the crazy and fast-paced lives of those in LA working in the industry, and a take from a small-town girl trying to make it work. There is drama and romance and suspense and hey – even some reality TV in between the pages. Maddy was a loveable heroine who was easy to root for, and fans of chick lit and Hollywood-lit books will be sure to like this one!
