Blockbuster #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Jennifer Weiner
returns with an irresistible story about a young woman trying to
make it in Hollywood...
At three years old, Ruth Saunders miraculously survives the car
crash that takes her parents' lives on the icy Massachusetts
Turnpike. Her eccentric grandmother, who comes out of Florida
retirement to care for young Ruth, nurtures her through years of
surgeries, feeding her home-cooked meals, dispensing irreverent
wisdom, and telling Ruth she's beautiful, even though her scars
will stay with her forever.
After college, Ruth pursues her dream of writing to Hollywood,
heading west with her grandmother in tow, hoping to make it big in
the world of TV. After years of failure and a badly broken heart,
Ruth gets The Call--her show has been green-lit.
But Ruth's happy ending is only the beginning, as she struggles
with how television gets made: terrified (and terrifying)
executives and actresses with their eyes on bigger prizes than
Ruthie's show. Add in an unrequited crush on the man who has been
her mentor. Add to that her grandmother's impending nuptials, and
Ruth's big break might just break her.
A rollicking ride on the Hollywood roller coaster, The Next Best
Thing is a heartfelt story about a young woman searching for her
own happily-ever-after in the land where dreams come true.
