What a wonderful book. Very entertaining. The author mentions in the preface that it's a work of fiction and any resemblance to real people and events is coincidental. That said, it's about a young man who is unsure of himself and is at a crossroads in his life He applies for and gets a job as a personal assistant to an actress that strongly resembles Carrie Fisher. Who's kidding who here? It's really about Ms Fisher because you simply can't make stuff up this rich and entertaining. The dialogue and action had me hooked from page one and it turned out to be one of those rare books I couldn't put down. While most of the book is full of zany antics, the Carrie Fisher-like boss ultimately becomes sort of a surrogate mother to the author. And in the end, she helps him grow and evolve into the person he was meant to be. It's ultimately a sweet character study I highly recommend.
