The First Assistant by Clare Naylor & Mimi Hare is a chick lit riot. Attempt to keep up with Lizzie Miller as she powers her way through the Hollywood elite as an assistant to a scurvy boss with a thing for young models, who also happens to be the husband of Lizzie’s bestie. Travel to Thailand as Lizzie watches over her hotter than thou young client, learning valuable lessons about Hollywood, love, and life in general. As Lizzie’s own love life collapses when her and her wealthy almost-fiancée, Luke Lloyd, are forced to work on separate continents, Lizzie has to decide what is best for her- continue the circus ride that is Hollywood, or throw it all behind to be the housewife that Luke wants her to be. This tale draws you in ‘behind the curtain’ of the Hollywood scene, making you feel that you are right in the mix with the elite and wealthy.
