While writing about celebrities for publications
like People, US Weekly, the Los Angeles
Times, and Vanity Fair, to name a few, journalist
Anna David was a fixture at Hollywood’s
hottest red carpet premieres and exclusive after-parties.
But her sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle as L.A.’s
party girl threatened to destroy her. Now sober for six years,
David offers a novel both hilarious and heartbreaking, based
on her real-life experiences in celebrity journalism:
PARTY GIRL. Amelia Stone is a staff writer for a
celebrity weekly magazine called Absolutely Fabulous.
Almost conquered by her hard partying ways, she makes the
drastic decision to end her drug abuse. Finally sober, she
gets the offer of a lifetime: to write her own column about
her wild and crazy adventures on the Hollywood party scene.
But her editor doesn’t know she’s cleaned up her
act. Amelia is faced with the decision whether to save herself
or her reputation as the ultimate party girl.
Full of juicy “bold type name”
references and industry insider scoop, PARTY GIRL
is a witty and razor-sharp send-up of celebrity and our culture’s
obsession with Hollywood. And at its core, it’s an honest
portrait of addiction and recovery, of redemption and second
chances, and of having the courage to save your own life.
