About me: A hard-partying celebrity journalist leads a double life—with hilarious and nearly disastrous results—in this sensational novel.
Amelia Stone is a quintessential L.A. party girl known for sharing wild stories about her hot (and often hilarious) nightlife. Invited to Hollywood’s most exclusive, star-studded events, she rubs shoulders -- and occasionally more -- with celebrities, stays out until all hours of the night, and indulges in the ultimate sex and drugs lifestyle. A writer for the celebrity magazine Absolutely Fabulous, Amelia struggles to stand out and is finally offered the chance to prove herself by interviewing several high-profile stars. But as she engages in more and more self-destructive partying, involving increasing amounts of “Alex” (her affectionate term for cocaine), Amelia loses control of both her personal and professional lives.
Almost ruined by her escapades, Amelia makes the drastic decision to end her drug abuse. Finally sober, she’s hired by a magazine that doesn’t know she’s cleaned up her act to write a column detailing her wild and steamy adventures. Faced with the most exciting opportunity of her career and the chance to become a celebrity herself, she must now decide whether to save herself –- and have a chance at love -- or salvage her reputation as the ultimate party girl.
Written by Anna David, a former celebrity journalist and recovering party girl herself, this clever and candid novel is filled with juicy celebrity references, exciting romances, and outrageous parties. Party Girl is sure to be the must-have beach read of the summer.
"An inspirational story -- a triumph over the red carpet, instant intimacy with celebs and an open bar. -- Liz Smith, The New York Post
"One of the season's best reads...David comments wisely and humorously on addiction and recovery..."
--Newsday
"Combines a candid picture of addiction and recovery with scandalously funny, only-in-LA adventures."
--Redbook
"The perfect hooked-for-three days and pass it on kind of book. In fact, I've had a hard time getting it back to even write a review."
--LAist.com
"A laugh-out-loud riot...The prose is brutally honest and movingly heartfelt...The rare can't-put-down book that reminds you of yourself."
--IN Magazine
"David, who has worked for many of the big media outlets, captures the thrills and perils of what it's like to party all the time."
--Eonline
"Anna David writes with a strain of relentless, self-deprecating genius...Party Girl is the kind of book it's impossible to read without stopping to repeat great lines to total strangers, who will then try and follow you home. The writing is at once laugh-out loud hysterical and Capote elegant."
-- Jerry Stahl, bestselling author of Permanent Midnight and I, Fatty
