Description

FROM THE New York Times bestselling author comes the relaunch of the book that started the "Quit Lit" movement. With over 230 positive reviews and coverage on Today and CNN's Showbiz Tonight and in the pages of The New York Post, Cosmo, Redbook and more, the book that started it all is now in the development as a feature film. It's also back to entertain audiences with a story that shows the surprising hilarity of a sober life.

Celebrity journalist Amelia Stone is the quintessential Hollywood party girl: she stays out late, rubs shoulders (and occasionally more) with celebrities and ingests copious amounts of cocaine.

But after losing her job, her friends and much of her mind, Amelia makes the drastic decision to end her drug abuse. Once sober, she's hired by a big-name magazine to write a column detailing her wild adventures and she starts seeing the man who could be her Mr. Right.

There's just one problem. Overnight, Amelia has become the new face of Hollywood nightlife, and her editors—who don't know she's come clean—want her to play the part. As the lure of her former fast-and-furious lifestyle begins to pull at her, she must decide whether to save herself or salvage her reputation as the ultimate party girl.

Review

"With Party Girl, Anna David may have invented a new sub-genre: chick lit with a message." - The New York Post

"Anna David deftly injects humor into a serious subject." - Library Journal

"In a world where the red carpet often leads to rehab, this tale of self-destruction and reinvention is perfect for gossip-hungry readers." - Cosmo magazine

"A mouthwatering read, especially for those out there who salivate over Page Six blind items. Studios sniffed around even before the book hit the shelves." - Los Angeles Confidential magazine

"Funny, touching, and compulsively readable, Anna David's Party Girl skewers the myth of the sexy free spirit whose capers win over cocktail hours even as they chip away at her soul. Amelia's story may be sensational, but her predicament is common: The world doesn't always like it when women sober up, and there are many rewards to keep playing a role. But the real prize is winning yourself back." - Sarah Hepola, New York Times bestselling author of Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget

"Party Girl has it all—action, heartbreak, redemption, humor and inspiration. If you have ever been a party girl, this book will hit home. This story showcases recovery and addiction in all its truth but with a side of humor; you will laugh out loud and want more! A must read!" - Erica Spiegelman, bestselling author of Rewired: A Bold New Approach to Recovery

"Party Girl is a must-read, wild ride through the glittering world of Hollywood and its excesses. Gripping from start, it is both laugh out loud funny and achingly honest. With its irresistible heroine, Party Girl sets the standard for stories of addiction and recovery." - Lisa Smith, award-winning author of Girl Walks Out of a Bar

"Party Girl is like Bret Easton Ellis in Technicolor; just as dark and real, but so much more fun to read. Anna David created a masterpiece; she authentically captures the false glow of celebrity and addiction in a way that no one has ever done before." - Dr. Josh Lichtman, psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist
