Summary

Here are the excruciatingly funny adventures of Suzanne Vale — a 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.

This stunning literary debut — read by author and actress Carrie Fisher herself — evokes the deliciously irreverent humor that formed the lens through which Fisher looked at life in the '80s: the stardom, the success, the sex — as well as the drugs, the desperation, and the insecurity.

Nice to hear this story in Carrie’s familiar voice, I’ve read the book and it’s exactly how I imagined. Forever my favourite writing from her.

Brilliantly written and read by Carrie Fisher

Brilliant humorous take on her own life (and many stars since the start of cinema), bittersweet and engaging - and it being read in her own voice makes it even more of a jewel!
