Beskrivning
In a stunning literary debut, Carrie Fisher chronicles the excruciatingly funny adventures of Suzanne Vale, young film star and drug addict, who survives a rehab clinic only to rejoin the equally harrowing world of Hollywood. Out there on the edge, despair flips into hilarity, and we're left laughing as Suzanne struggles to come to terms with her various fantasylands. Carrie Fisher's reading of her first novel evokes the deliciously irreverent humor that forms the lens through which she looks at life in the '80s - stardom, drugs, success, sex, and insecurity.

I normally like Carrie Fisher's books (that might be an understatement - The Princess Diarist and Wishful Drinking were two of my favourite reads last year) but I just couldn't get into this one. Suzanne's perspective was well-written and so Carrie-like but then Alex's perspective frustrated me. I know there's a reason that it's written like that but, honestly, it's just exhausting.
