NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON YOUTUBE!
From the New York Times bestselling author who helped spark the "Quit Lit" movement comes a newly updated edition of the groundbreaking story of a young, wild woman discovering that getting sober is the most dramatic plot twist of all.
Meet Amelia Stone, a celebrity journalist and quintessential Hollywood party girl whose cocaine-fueled lifestyle crashes spectacularly. After getting clean, she lands a dream gig writing about her wild adventures for a major magazine and even finds the possibility of love.
There's just one problem. Her editors, unaware of her sobriety, expect her to maintain her reputation as Hollywood's ultimate party girl, forcing Amelia to choose between her hard-won recovery and her career as the new face of nightlife.
A comic novel about addiction and recovery, Party Girl is a wickedly funny, surprisingly touching story reminiscent of such classics as Postcards from the Edge and Rachel's Holiday.
