I didn't read the synopsis or anything beforehand, but I kept expecting this turn into some sort of cozy mystery or for something 'scary' to happen. I think there could've been a better title for this book. Maddy gets a contract to do the show and everything ends happily. I thought this was a cute and pretty realistic relationship, no matter how predictable it was from page 1. She fights the relationship for awhile, but their connection is just too strong and they're too good together. She breaks her no-actor rule to start dating Adam, the lead on the show she works on. Thankfully he is fired and he and Maddy call it quits. It's later revealed that he's trying to take credit and exploit, rather than shine a light on, the issues of Wolf County. Craig runs with the idea and seems to be really supportive and helpful, but his intentions are not good. Maddy gets the idea to start a reality show about the town and the people there to help boost the economy. Nobody is coming there so the businesses are all dying. She takes Craig home to her hometown in Wolf County because she sees how much of the town is failing. She's dating one of the executives on the show (Craig) and has a strict no-actor policy when it comes to her love life. She's a script writer for a TV show and loves her job but hates the Hollywood lifestyle.

She took random pauses and breaths in the middle of sentences and it was super distracting.Īnyway, the story is about Maddy. If I ever read this again it would definitely be in physical form- the audio was just too distracting and annoying. However, I listened to it on audio and she is a terrible narrator.

I am shocked how much I enjoyed this! I like Alison Sweeney a lot so I figured I'd give it a go and I was pleasantly surprised.

Scared Scriptless offers an engagingly relatable heroine, laugh-out-loud humor, and a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how television is made. Eventually Maddy must learn to break all her self-imposed rules and simply follow her heart. Meanwhile, Maddy still has a full-time job to manage, her family to deal with, and a gorgeous new actor, Adam Devin, determined to wear down her resistance. Could Wolf County, her beloved hometown in the mountains, be saved from a financial crisis by creating a reality show featuring the eccentrics in the small ski village? Maddy is determined to try, even when she learns that Craig's agenda doesn't exactly line up with her altruistic goal. However, a budding relationship with Craig, one of the executives at her company, may even propel her into the big leagues. She loves her job as Script Supervisor on a hit TV show, but hates 'Hollywood.' Super-organized and down-to-earth, Maddy is clearly one of the best at her job, and her strict dating rule - 'No Actors!' - helps her keep focused on her career. Maddy Carson is a mass of contradictions.
