The Second Assistant : A Tale from the Bottom of the Hollywood Ladder
The Second Assistant · Book 1Description
Elizabeth Miller trades her congressional intern badge for a chaotic new life as a second assistant at a prestigious Hollywood talent agency, where her boss is a brilliant but erratic agent more interested in online poker than actual work. Thrust into a world of outrageous demands—from organizing stripper parties to managing her boss's substance-fueled tantrums—this East Coast newcomer quickly discovers that the entertainment industry operates by an entirely different set of rules. As Lizzie navigates office politics, lecherous producers, and the cutthroat ambitions of her fellow assistants, she refuses to let the madness derail her dreams of climbing the Hollywood ladder. Fast-paced and wickedly funny, this insider's tale captures the absurdity and chaos of life at the bottom of the entertainment food chain, where survival instinct and a sense of humor are just as valuable as industry connections.
