Only in the Movies
Author: William Bell
Desc: When Jake Blanchard gets a job as a student set designer at the York School of Arts it's an exciting first step towards realizing his dream of making movies. But soon enough he finds himself starring in a drama of his own creation. Nothing in Jake's life is the same after Vanni a whip-smart wisecracking Indian-Irish-Canadian joins his class and after Jake meets the unforgettable Alba who is as stunning as she is unattainable. Jake is tongue-tied around Alba and enlists Vanni's help. All of a sudden — like the Shakespeare play Jake's school is putting on — Jake finds himself entwined in a love triangle of sorts complete with secrets and suppressed passions contrived plots miscues and misunderstandings. By the end as in any good comedy tensions are resolved and Jake's world has been re-made though in a way he could not have anticipated. From the Trade Paperback edition.
