Non-Fiction Memoir
In this edgy and romantic follow-up to her New York
Times bestselling debut memoir, Chanel Bonfire,
Wendy Lawless chronicles her misguided twenties—a darkly
funny story of a girl without a roadmap for life who flees
her disastrous past to find herself in the gritty heart of
1980s New York City.
Before downtown Manhattan was
scrubbed clean, gentrified and overrun with designer
boutiques and trendy eateries and bars, it was the center of
a burgeoning art scene—both exciting and dangerous. Running
from the shipwreck of her glamorous and unstable childhood
with a volatile mother, Wendy Lawless landed in the center
of it all. With an open heart and a thrift store wardrobe,
Wendy navigated this demi-monde of jaded punk rockers,
desperate actors, pulsing parties, and unexpected run-ins
with her own past as she made every mistake of youth, looked
for love in all the wrong places, and eventually learned how
to grow up on her own.
With the same “biting humor”
(People) that made her “powerful” (USA TODAY)
and “illuminating and inspiring” (Reader’s Digest)
New York Times bestseller Chanel Bonfire so
captivating, Wendy turns her brutally honest and often
hilarious spotlight on herself, recounting her tumultuous
and giddy twenties trying to make it in the creative
underbelly of New York City, all the while searching for
love, a paying job, and occasionally, a free meal.
