Oscar season, by Mary McNamara

This was great fun to read while watching the Academy Awards. McNamara has been a reporter for the Los Angeles Times writing about Hollywood for 17 years so is able to give this story authenticity. Juliette, the heroine, is the PR director for a major Hollywood hotel. Who knew hotels had PR directors?! Juliette's job is to make sure the hottest stars stay at her hotel, and that they are treated extremely well. I loved her description of the Oscar fanny-packs that the staff is issued; the bags contain everything from aspirin to Xanax. You're seeing behind the scenes, and you're guessing which character was inspired by which famous actor or actress; I enjoyed it.
