Just Like in the Movies — Steven Axelrod

Michael Gersh is Hollywood insider; Rachel Scanlon is a neophyte fresh out of New York who wants to direct movies. It takes a long time for them to find each other. Rachel learns Hollywood from the bottom up, falling in love with her predatory agent and finally directing her own independent film. Mike takes a long fall from the top after punching a major movie star, and struggles back through the ranks. When they finally meet it's obvious: all they ever needed was each other.
