How to be Famous


The Sunday Times bestselling Richard & Judy Book Club favourite


'Being Moran, the jokes and one-liners fizz and crackle off the page' Richard's Review

'As usual, Moran writes fearlessly, openly, honestly and incredibly funnily about sex - especially bad sex' Judy's Review

_____

I'm Johanna Morrigan. It's 1995. I'm nineteen and I live in the epicentre of Britpop. Parklife!

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.

Who better than Caitlin Moran to bring fame down to earth with a bump
