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.

      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.

      Narrator Justine Eyre deftly brings the listener into the world of Hollywood. This behind-the-scenes story features a young woman who is an aspiring film editor. Sylvia Bradshaw grew up under the wing of her grandmother, a renowned makeup artist who offered insights into the real Hollywood. Eyre's storytelling captures Sylvia's emotions as she negotiates the highs and lows of her career and love life. Eyre provides an audio experience that makes listeners feel like they're in L.A. right along with Sylvia. As she finds her way in a male-dominated field, Sylvia relies on the wisdom imparted by some of Audrey Hepburn's most well-known characters, such as Holly Golightly in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.

      Starred review from September 15, 2018
      One-eyed Silvia Bradshaw loves movies and quotes from them frequently. Additionally, she bears a striking resemblance to Audrey Hepburn. But Silvia's career is not in front of the camera but rather behind the scenes as a film editor. Her job as assistant to a well-known editor is consuming all her time, since she increasingly ends up doing all the editing work as well as trying to get her boss sober enough to attend important studio meetings. In the last hours for the final edit of an important movie, Silvia has to drag her boss out of a nightclub, and Ben, a great pal from her last job, steps up to help. With her boss so drunk he isn't conscious enough to even look at the film, Ben helps Silvia finish the job. But their fledgling relationship appears ill-fated when they are driven apart by misunderstandings and lawsuits filed by a rival studio. Wright (Lies Jane Austen Told Me?, 2017) presents a terrific read for romance readers who like a "proper romance," in which the social relationship, not the physical mechanics, is the point of the story. A thoroughly satisfying read with a great happily-ever-after conclusion.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
