Description

High heels, hijinks, and head honchos in Hollywood

Alexa Ross has risen to the top of the Hollywood boys’ club. As the vice president of comedy development at Hawkeye Broadcasting System, Alexa has put her early years working as an assistant to Jerry Kellner, her sex-crazed former boss, behind her.

However, nepotism lands Jerry a plum spot at HBS…reporting to Alexa! Soon Jerry’s malicious behavior is destroying everything good in Alexa’s life, from the young student she tutors to the romance she thought she’d never find. Can Alexa win the battle for ratings and break through the glass ceiling, even if it destroys her—and everything she loves?

Sharp, witty, and heartwarming, Primetime Princess is an unforgettable sneak peek into the exclusive behind-the-scenes drama that occurs over the course of one TV development season.

Advance Praise

"The stakes are high and ambitions are huge among the people who decide what America watches on television every night. Insider Lindy DeKoven gives us an insightful, witty and entertaining peek into a male-dominated, hidden world. Be prepared to laugh out loud, shake your head in disbelief but, mostly, cheer as heroine Alexa Ross navigates her way through. I should have been writing my own book, but I couldn't stop reading Primetime Princess!" —Mary Jane Clark, New York Times bestselling author

"DeKoven is a television veteran who skillfully crafts fascinating television details with an interesting character arc in her portrayal of Alexa. Readers who enjoyed Jennifer Weiner's The Next Best Thing (2012) will especially enjoy this. — Amy Alessio, BOOKLIST Review

"Both hilarious and thought-provoking, Primetime Princess reveals the male chauvinist world of network TV and creates the perfect heroine who's determined to climb to the top of the rowdy heap. You'll be cheering from page one!" —Jennie Fields, author of The Age of Desire

"Lindy DeKoven hits a prime-time nerve with, oh, every woman who's ever had a job anywhere outside a convent! You will sympathize, empathize, agonize but ultimately rejoice with her finely drawn heroine…Primetime Princess is a completely engaging, thoroughly entertaining read--with a vitally important message deftly woven in its pages." —Jill Conner Browne, The Sweet Potato Queen

"Lindy DeKoven's brilliant debut manages to be a rollicking insider's tour behind the scenes of the Hollywood game, a searing indictment of the entrenched Boys' Club that dominates the industry, and a really great story about heroine Alexa Ross and her journey into the heart of that darkness--not just up the corporate ladder at the possible cost of all she holds dear, but toward a better understanding of who she is and what she wants out the life she's worked so hard to build. This is one of my favorite books this year!" —Megan Crane, author of I Love the 80s and Once More With Feeling

"Impossible to put down! Alexa Ross is the smartest 'guy' in the room in the men's world of Network TV." —Daphne Zuniga, Actress, Melrose Place and One Tree Hill
