I liked this quick light read. After reading a heavy historical I needed a book to relax with and this was it. It's a romance with an aspiring screen writer heroine who becomes Carole Lombard's friend and a young Jewish man who works
magic with David Selznik, the talented and creative producer who is a difficult and creative producer. There is a little devoted to the war, Nazis and their treatment of Jewish people. There is a bit about racial discrimination as well but overall the author captures the glitzy but unreal world of movie making.
