So 5 Minutes Ago - Hilary De Vries (CD)
Title: So 5 Minutes Ago Title: So 5 Minutes Ago Author: Hilary De Vries Genre: Literature and Fiction (General) Format: CD, 5 CDs, 6 Hrs. Synopsis: Alex Davidson is a thirtysomething celebrity publicist for a down-at-heels Los Angeles PR firm known for taking on clients whose careers have crashed and burned. A professional hand-holder and spinmeister, shes one notch above a nanny on the Hollywood food chain. L.A. is already losing its luster in Alexs eyes when her firm is bought out by the hottest agency in town. Will it mean massive layoffs or a chance at a big promotion? In between signing a new client (a once-hot-now-not actor just out of rehab) and wondering if one of the partners is putting the moves on her, Alex grows wary of her new boss, a sharklike exec whos forcing out Alexs old boss under suspicious circumstances. Is there anything she can do to save her and her bosss jobs, and maybe right some wrongs against women in Hollywood along the way? Packed with razor-sharp humor and featuring a winning protagonist, So 5 Minutes Ago will satisfy even the most hard-to-pleaser celebriholics who long to find out what goes on after a star steps off the red carpet. Review: Publishers Weekly Containing all the guilty pleasure of a fluffy beach read, this lighthearted debut novel from veteran Hollywood journalist de Vries offers celebrity-fixated fans a humorous, insider's look at the less than glamorous underbelly of Hollywood. Alex Davidson, a New York transplant and 30-something divorcee, hates her job as a publicist, even though she's "frighteningly good" at it. With one-third of her clients "gay, in rehab, or seriously twisted," Alex fears her job is on the line after the agency she works for is bought out by a firm, aptly named BIG. While poking fun at both real and fictionalized celebrities and Hollywood bigwigs may not be a stretch for de Vries, reader Hamilton perfectly captures the author's sarcastic tone and takes her (sometimes painfully) hip dialogue to another level with her vast cache of accents and attitude. Hamilton also lets somewhat cliched characters like Alex's attractive, gossipy, gay assistant and her has-been client, Troy Madden, shine through more clearly.
