About this audiobook
In The Second Assistant, readers across the country found a heroine they loved to love in Lizzie Miller, the smart and witty East Coast girl clinging for dear life to the bottom rung of the Hollywood ladder. But no more coffee runs and sorting thumbtacks by color for Lizzie; she's been promoted. As first assistant to Scott Wagner, now president of The Agency and one of Hollywood's premiere movers and shakers, she's making decisions and learning the ins and outs of the business. But unlike the other airhead assistants, she's not being wooed by the glamour and mystique of Lala Land. At least, that's what she tells herself. But with a fabulous boyfriend and visions of Harry Winston diamonds and a black AmEx dancing in her head, it is getting harder for Lizzie to keep her pumps firmly on the ground.
In The First Assistant, Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare have again joined forces to take a wry and hilarious look at the wheeling, dealing, schmoozing, and snubbing that make Hollywood the cutthroat capital of the world. Readers are hungry for more-and The First Assistant is just the romp into the red-carpet world that they crave.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5At first, I thought the authors had committed the cardinal sin of trying to replay the same story in a different setting (or thinking that Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason was a good sequel). But once you accept that Lizzie suddenly leaves for an exotic location without telling her boyfriend, this book turns out pretty well. Suffer through the first third of the book and, if you liked the first book, you'll like the second one.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I did not find this sequel as enjoyable as "The Second Assistant". The title character seemed a bit under-developed.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Silly, crazy, fun fluff. Starlets and 1955 Mercedes-Benz Gullwings, housekeepers and the cover of People, movie sets and temper tantrums in Thailand, and, of course, beautiful people, sex, drugs, money, and ambition.
