description: A comic tale of passion—having it, losing it, and getting it back.  When Lizzie Hubbard graduated from NYU she had a Screenwriting award, a supportive boyfriend, and a bright future. Seven years later, all she has left is a sharp tongue, a bad attitude and a lousy job toiling fruitlessly as a D-Girl developing screenplays for a movie producer whose biggest hits are far in his past.  Lizzie spends her days stockpiling office supplies, stealing quickies with a Brazilian bike messenger, and waiting to collect her severance benefits. But when her boss, in a last ditch effort to save his company, assigns her a seemingly hopeless script to fix, even a D- Girl as jaded as Lizzie can’t resist the challenge to turn an amateur screenwriter into a player.  The Loves of a D-Girl proves that second acts in love and work are definitely possible, but they can be very, very tricky to pull off.  Praise for Wanderlust: “Chick-lit scores a hit with this debut romantic comedy.” —Publishers Weekly  “Refreshingly fun and feisty, witty and smart but never cynical. I loved it!” —Marian Keyes  “Kate Bogart is an aptly named heroine, updated for our time.” —David Rakoff
