Sometimes you just need a funny, escapist book, and Been
There, Married That by Gigi Levangie is just the one that can deliver although
watch out for the raunchy factor. Still mining her former marriage to producer
Brian Grazer, screenwriter Levangie (Step Mom) has produced another ode to
Hollywood wives and ex-wives. As a non-Hollywood insider, a lot of the one
liners and name drops went over my head, but for those Kardashian and Real
Housewives fans, there will be much here to savor.
Agnes Murphy Nash is a book author married to Trevor
Nash, big shot Hollywood producer and narcissist. He has decided he doesn’t want
to do marriage anymore. With lots of dirty tricks -- locking her out,
cancelling the credit cards, having her sister locked up, sending her off to
rehab for her almond addiction – Trevor wants full custody of their daughter
Pep and to win in the divorce proceedings.
When Agnes finally digs in and fights back, Trevor
doubles down by bugging the house and gluing her keyboard, but with the support
of her father and sister, Agnes intends to prevail.
Gigi Levangie books are for those who enjoy the exploits
of the Hollywood crowd. I have enjoyed her earlier books although she continues
to tell the same basic story of being the starter wife of a Hollywood mogul. Fans
of Lauren Weisberger
and Candace Bushnell will enjoy this author’s snarky insight into Tinseltown.
