Group Discussion of Novel about Hollywood: THIS ONE IS MINE by Maria Semple

Hello, I'd like to offer an upcoming novel, THIS ONE IS MINE by Maria Semple to the group for discussion. I can send a book to whoever is interested and then we can discuss the book in this forum. Please respond here if you are interested in receiving a free copy.

It's a fabulous book written by a former writer for Arrested Development and Mad About You. A compassionate and wickedly funny satire set in the Hollywood Hills about our need for more--and the often disastrous choices we make in the name of happiness.

Maria left her TV career after having a baby and wrote the novel while being a full-time mom. If you have questions for her about this, I can have her answer them.
