Reason Three (and by far the most egregious): He changed one of her lines. Reason Two: She thinks he’s the King of Casual Sex. Now Lou hates Jack – hates him, I tell you – for a number of reasons.

(Breakups are bad enough, can you imagine adding Public Humiliation into the mix?) Screenwriter Lou Calabrese, a formerly chubby New York policeman’s daughter, rose to fame at an early age by penning Copkiller, a starring vehicle and imminently successful movie franchise for Jack Townsend, “Hollywood’s Hottest Hunk.” Even though Lou is now an Oscar-winning writer for the mega-hit Hindenberg (Read: Titanic) Lou’s a bit shaky these days since her long-time live-in boyfriend (an untalented clod who rocketed to stardom in Hindenberg) dumped her to abruptly marry his co-star in the film who, wouldn’t you know it, also happened to be involved with Jack. And, from where I sit, that’s pretty darn cool. Cabot’s real-life movie experience ( The Princess Diaries) has helped her give this one more of an insider’s ring than any other I’ve read. And, even though I’ve polished off quite a few of them in the past few years, Ms. I’ll admit right off the bat that I’m a sucker for those Hollywood romances. She Went All the Way is a fast, funny, sexy, romantic ride. If you’re looking for a book to jump-start your reading during these gray January days, look no further.
