The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner.
Ruth Saunders, orphaned and disfigured at age 3, is raised by her grandmother. Young Ruth spends so much of her youth in hospitals that tv shows become her friends. She grows up to be a writer and heads west, with Grandma in tow, to Hollywood.
Ruth learns the ropes and is thrilled to finally get the green-light on a show of her own...until the compromises start. Anyone who's ever had to produce something by committee can see where "Ruth's" show is headed.
4 stars as chick-lit.
