Sound familiar?

I don't know about you, but the heroine in this new book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips sounds like it's been modeled after Jennifer Aniston.


How did this happen? Georgie York, once the costar of America's favorite television sitcom, has been publicly abandoned by her famous husband, her film career has tanked, her father is driving her crazy, and her public image as a spunky heroine is taking a serious beating. What should a down-on-her-luck actress do? Not go to Vegas ... not run into her detestable former costar, dreamboat-from-hell Bramwell Shepard ... and not get caught up in an ugly incident that leads to a calamitous elopement. Before she knows it, Georgie has a fake marriage, a fake husband, and maybe (or not) a fake sex life. It's a paparazzi free-for-all, and Georgie's nonsupporting cast doesn't help. There's Bram's punk-nightmare housekeeper, Georgie's own pushy parent, a suck-up agent, an icy studio head with a private agenda, and her ex-husband's new wife, who can't get enough of doing good deeds and saving the world--the bitch. As for Georgie's leading man, Bram's giving the performance of his life, but he's never cared about anyone except himself, and it's not exactly clear why. Two enemies find themselves working without a script in a town where the spotlight shines bright ... and where the strongest emotions can wear startling disguises.
It's too bad I despise Jennifer Aniston, because if it weren't for that, I would totally read this book!

Bahahaha. Oh goodness. I would never read that book. I can predict some of the climactic events too:
1. Georgie has a movie coming out, so she purposely brings up old gossip about the feud between her and her ex-husband's new wife.
2. Georgie plays the same character over and over in all her films.
3. All of Georgie's films flop.
4. Georgie secretly hates children but claims she wants many!
5. Georgie breaks up with her fake husband and starts to date a younger douchebag musician.

Oh man.
