Karen Jacobs has landed the job of a lifetime at New York's hottest film studio, Glorious Pictures, which is headed by a pair of famously competitive and ambitious brothers, Phil and Tony Waxman. The young publicist quickly finds herself with an all-access pass to the tantrums, whims, follies, neuroses, and unimaginable egos of the celebrities who star in Glorious's films -- but this comes as no surprise. It's the absolute insanity inside the company that knocks her for a loop. Extremely competitive and cutthroat, the Glorious executives continuously search for ways to outdo, outscheme, and outmaneuver each other in their attempts to impress the Waxmans. In the tradition of The Devil Wears Prada, real-life movie publicist Rachel Pine's razor-sharp satire captures perfectly the behind-the-scenes machinations of the film industry in all its glory.

About the Author:

Rachel Pine is a former publicist for Miramax Films. She is currently director of marketing and communications for Doubledown Media, LLC, a magazine publisher. She lives in New York City. This is her first book.

From AudioFile:

Rachel Pine, former second assistant for a notorious New York film company, has written a fictional expos� of her experiences at the company, detailing all of the bad behavior and personality quirks in minute detail. While the story is entertaining, and it's easy to decipher which celebrities Pine is "outing," the characters are shallow at their best, despicable at their worst, leaving narrator Ana Gasteyer with the difficult task of engaging readers. Gasteyer gives a distinct voice to each character, using tone and inflection to bring life and depth to an otherwise gray cast. The result is an entertaining, though superficial and predictable, insider's look at a glamorous and narcissistic industry.
