Fiction by Byron Lake
Charlie is overjoyed when he lands his dream job: as a personal assistant to aging megastar Kathi Kannon, daughter of aged megastar and household name Gracie Gold. His job is to keep her happy and safe, and maybe help her write her memoirs. He loves her, so he’s sure this won’t be a problem.
But the problem is that Kathi is no good at staying safe. ( Or happy, really. ) She’s a partially recovered drug addict; she has manic episodes; she’s forever searching for the cure to boredom in dangerous places. Charlie has his hands full just keeping her alive, and his job is consuming his life.
This was a pretty funny and mostly interesting book. I liked Charlie but the self- sabotaging Kathi was difficult to muster sympathy for.
