Only In America

By Dominic Holland

This book is written by comedian Dominic Holland, and it is a witty and funny story. A true romantic comedy fairytale. It is a book that screams film from the first paragraph.

The whole story is based on three simple questions.
- How does a film script by an unknown writer get to be read by a Hollywood studio boss?
- What happens if he loves it?
- What does his people do if they have no idea who wrote it?

Juliet Millhouse (Milly) is a frustrated hotel receptionist working at a posh London hotel frequented by businesspeople and stars, including Hollywood producers. She is a wannabe screenwriter, stuck in workaday London. Although she has been rejected time and time again, she is still desperate to get her debut script into the hands of Hollywood's deal-makers.

On the other side of the Atlantic monster studio mogul Willenheim is looking for his next hit. Somehow Milly's script gets mixed up with those from Willenheim's development department. They fall in love with the script but before they can turn it into a movie, they need to find the person who wrote it. Hollywood studio exec Mitch Carmichael starts a frantic hunt for the mysterious screenwriter. He leaves for London and checks into Milly's hotel starting a journey of coincidences and incredibly funny mishaps! And in true Hollywood style romance is in the air.

Funny!!
