Courtney Thorne-Smith Books

This book got off to a decent start but by the time I was half way through it I couldn't read another word. The "clever" and contrived dialog and interaction between the unrealistic and exaggerated characters quickly went from amusing to annoying. Even as a satire it was just too much. If I hadn't known I was reading a novel I would have thought I was reading a script for a soap opera or a Lifetime movie. I think it's safe to say that Ms. Thorne-Smith is a better actor than author and should not quit her day job.

I am not a literature snob and love a good chick-lit novel and took it out of the library. I realize that the author really wanted to give this a go and had something to write about... but where were her editors??? Before the author attempts to write another novel, (1) she needs to learn how to write (2) needs coaching from an editor

Irresistible as on screen. Funny and clever writing. Congrats, Courtney. Readers need your mind on duty for a spin-off.

a great read. couldnt put it down. highly recommended fiction - an interesting and well written book which gives a peek into hollywood, from someone who's seen it at close hand.

Do you anxiously await the latest issues of Star, Life and Style, Us Weekly and People magazines? Are you glued to E News and The Daily 10? If so, you will love Courtney Thorne-Smith's first novel, wherein she delivers an engaging comedy from an insider's perspective on the Hollywood scene and inner workings of a television show set. Her characters are hilarious caricatures of the stereotypical narcissistic, self-absorbed (albeit hopefully somewhat exaggerated!) drama queens and kings you would likely experience living and working in "the business." I agree with my fellow reviewer that a sequel would surely be delicious!
