Wright follows Lies Jane Austen Told Me with a delightful winner that pits two friends against Hollywood’s “wretched hive of scum and villainy.” Portal Pictures’ newest assistant film editor, Sylvia Bradshaw, is under the gun working on the studio’s latest potentially Oscar-worthy movie. Her boss, Dean Thomas, is always absent even when he’s present. The night before the film’s final cuts are due, Sylvia is trying to drag a very drunken Dean back to the studio when former boss Ben Armstrong comes to the rescue. It turns out Ben’s been carrying a torch for Sylvia since forever, but his Galahad moment of helping her out eventually backfires, costing them both big time. It takes a little forgivable deus ex machina to get Sylvia and Ben to their happy ending. Thanks to dialogue that’s peppered with movie references and sweet scenes with Sylvia’s lovable grandma, contemporary romance fans will be charmed. (Nov.)
The Lie
Women in Hollywood are just pretty faces. But Silvia Bradshaw knows that's a lie, and she's ready to be treated as an equal and prove her worth as one of Hollywood's newest film editors.
The Love
She and Ben Mason had worked together as editors before Silvia got her big break, so he's the perfect person to ask for feedback on her first major film. But even as their friendship begins to blossom into something more, a lawsuit surfaces, jeopardizing both of their jobs-as well as their fledgling romance. Audrey Hepburn once said: “The most important things is to enjoy your life-to be happy-it's all that matters.” Silvia agrees. Or she used to. It's one thing to risk her job and her heart, but can she really risk Ben's too? Does she have the right to make decisions for her own happiness when they affect so many other people?
The Breakfast
With everything to lose, Silvia meets Ben for breakfast at his favorite diner, Tiffany's, for one last conversation before the credits roll on true love.
