About the Book
When Lizzie Hubbard graduated from NYU she had a Screenwriting award, a supportive boyfriend, and a bright future. Seven years later, all she has left is a sharp tongue, a bad attitude and a lousy job toiling fruitlessly as a D-Girl developing screenplays for a movie producer whose biggest hits are far in his past.
Lizzie spends her days stockpiling office supplies, stealing quickies with a Brazilian bike messenger, and waiting to collect her severance benefits. But when her boss, in a last ditch effort to save his company, assigns her a seemingly hopeless script to fix, even a D- Girl as jaded as Lizzie can’t resist the challenge to turn an amateur screenwriter into a player.
The Loves of a D-Girl proves that second acts in love and work are definitely possible, but they can be very, very tricky to pull off.

The Review
Funny, yet the love story seemed to be a bit predictable. Ignore that little annoyance, and you will enjoy the book. Especially if you've worked or have been around the film industry. The work situations will you leave you rolling on the floor.
~Jade, 2005
