From Library Journal: "Ruth Saunders and her grandmother Rae have moved from suburban Boston to Los Angeles in pursuit of Ruth's dream of writing for television. Rae has raised her granddaughter since the death of Ruth's parents in a car accident that also left Ruth severely scarred. Now Ruth, after six years of low-level work, has finally gotten the green light to develop her own show, The Next Best Thing. Ruth struggles to work through the compromises and disappointments of running her first show. She also must decide what to do with her feelings for her mentor Dave. The relationship that develops between Ruth and Dave is realistic and potently romantic, and Weiner also eloquently portrays the unique bond between Ruth and her grandmother. Full of warm and interesting characters as well as a wealth of insider industry detail (Weiner was a cocreator of an ABC Family sitcom), this is a must-read for Weiner's many fans and anyone who enjoys smart, funny fiction. This would also make an excellent book club book."
