Celebrity journalist Ann Roth has one last chance to prove herself. Unlike her colleagues at Famous -- the L.A. magazine--Ann doesn't pick through people's garbage and would never pervert the truth.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Jane Heller is a wonderful, entertaining writer. I first read her " Dairy of a She Fan" about the New York Yankees, then deceided to look at her novels., they are Hilarious, She plots beautifully and her voice is like hearing a funny friend telling you a story. Give her a try - she is great!.
Best new author I've found in years!

This is the first of Ms. Heller's books I've read but it certainly isn't the last. Her writing is witty, her characters realistic, and her plots keep the pace lively. I'll definitely be back for more!
Terrific Read

Some Nerve --Some Fun!

Some Nerve has some nerve being so darned FUNNY! What a romp, and yet this novel makes a great statement about the importance of volunteering at institutions like hospice facilities and hospitals. Author Jane Heller is a hoot, and yet her novel is a moving and persuasive testament that we get back when we give. If you want to feel really good --read this book and then go sign up at your favorite do-good organization. Brava, Ms. Heller! Hope it's a movie soon...
Jane Heller's books keep getting better and better!

I love Jane Heller's books and "Some Nerve" is one of her best! Ann Roth is an entertainment journalist (Think "People" or "Us Weekly") who profiles some of the top celebs. She's not a tabloid reporter who sorts through garbage cans, so when her new editor wants her to develop a "killer instinct" and pursue one of Hollywood's most private stars, she is forced to get creative. This book is both laugh out loud funny and surprisingly bittersweet. I don't want to give away too much of the plot but suffice it to say readers won't be disappointed. I finished this book in two nights and was sorry to leave the characters behind.
