A Library Journal Best Book of 2018
"Who better than Caitlin Moran to bring fame down to earth with a
bump?" --Helen Fielding, bestselling author of Bridget Jones's
Diary.
From the New York Times bestselling author of How to Be a Woman--a
hilarious, exhilarating novel about a young woman making it in a world
where men hold all the power.
Johanna Morrigan (aka Dolly Wilde) has it all: she is nineteen, lives in
her own flat in London, and writes for the coolest music magazine in
Britain. Her star is rising, just not quickly enough for her liking.
Then John Kite, Johanna's unrequited love, has an album go to number
one. Suddenly John exists on another plane of reality: that of the
Famouses, a world of rabid fans and VIP access. Johanna lacks the
traditional trappings of fame (famous parents, mind-scorching hotness,
exotic scandals, etc.), so she does the only thing a self-respecting
Lady Sex Adventurer can do. She starts a magazine column critiquing the
lives and follies of the Famouses around her. But as Johanna skyrockets
to fame herself, she begins to realize that with celebrity comes
sacrifice, and hers may mean giving up the one person she was determined
to keep.
For anyone who has been a girl or known one, who has admired fame or
judged it, How to Be Famous is a big-hearted, hilarious tale of fame
and fortune--and all that they entail.
