Josie O'Leary, 28 years of age, beautiful, and Pilates-toned, intends to assume her rightful devote the Hollywood pantheon, as president of a major movie studio. She plots her ascent with a commando's ruthlessness, and little or nothing - no inconvenient man, her bitchy boss, or even her complete ignorance of how movies are actually made - will minimize her. When Josie stumbles across a can't-miss screenplay she recognizes it as her big chance to became a developer. Not a working-with-writers developer, or a dealing-with-boring-details developer, but an above-the-credits, seven-figure-fee developer. A person who makes heads transform at the Ivy, who can get a call through to anyone instantly, who reads about her own life in Variety and Vanity Fair. Neurotic New Yorker Carla Trousse goes to L.A. after everything in her life (including her living room roof) collapses around her. Overeducated and underemployed, Carla has no idea what to do next; she suspects she has only one real ability, for criticizing. Fortunately, that gift also comes in useful at her new job as a script reader, or development woman. She's the oldest "D-girl" in her office at the absolute lower part of the movie-industry food string, yet for the very first time in years, she seems a glimmer of optimism. When Josie's script allures the interest of Henry Antonelli, a legendary leading man and Hollywood powerhouse, a startling revelation results within an uneasy alliance between Josie and Carla. Mutual loathing converts to grudging value, then real companionship, as the two women uncover the limits of ambition and the boundless rewards of human being connection. The Difference Between You and Me is a modern-day humor of manners, an insider's take on Hollywood standard protocol and prestige. With her sly yet ample wit, DeMarco illuminates every day annoyances and disasters that each woman will acknowledge - office backstabbing, why-won't-he-call frustrations, and the unsettling vacuum that can open up in the center of the busiest life.
