My unrequited love, John Kite, is busy with a Number One album, world-tour, drugs, and a nervous breakdown.
So, I've started hanging out with hot young comedian Jerry Sharp. Big mistake.
"He's a vampire," my friend Suzanne warns. "One of those men who destroys bright young girls. Also, he's a total dick."
Unfortunately, I've already had sex with him. Bad sex. And now, I'm one of the girls he is trying to destroy.
I know I have to stop him. But how does one girl fight a famous, powerful man?
A novel about friendship, feminism and finding your place in the world.**

I've wanted to read this book for ages since I loved the first book about Johanna / Dolly Wilde, How to Build A Girl. Every time I tried to borrow the book it was on loan, so I'm delighted I finally got to read it. I need to watch the movie of How to Build A Girl on Amazon and hope they turn this into a movie as well. This is the perfect book about growing up in the 90's. It's also the perfect book about being at the end of your teenage years but not quite a grown up. I could relate to a lot of what Johanna / Dolly and Susannah experienced and how they sold the world though I was young than them in 1995. A lot of the book resonated with me. I laughed a lot and cried a lot. This is a terrific book.
