Brooke loved reading the dishy celebrity gossip rag Last
Night. That is, until her marriage became a weekly
headline.Brooke was drawn to the soulful, enigmatic Julian
Alter the very first time she heard him
perform “Hallelujah” at a dark East Village dive bar.Now
five years married, Brooke balances two jobs—as a
nutritionist at NYU Hospital and as a consultant to an
Upper East Side girls’ school, where privilege gone wrong
and disordered eating run rampant—in order to help support
her husband’s dream of making it in the music world.Things
are looking up when after years of playing Manhattan clubs
and toiling as an A&R intern, Julian finally gets signed by
Sony. Although no one’s promising that the album will ever
hit the airwaves, Julian is still dedicated to logging in
long hours at the recording studio. All that changes after
Julian is asked to perform on the Tonight Show with Jay
Leno—and is catapulted to stardom, literally overnight.
Amazing opportunities begin popping up almost daily—a new
designer wardrobe, a tour with Maroon 5, even a Grammy
performance.At first the newfound fame is fun—who wouldn’t
want to stay at the Chateau Marmont or visit the set of one
of television’s hottest shows? Yet it seems that Brooke’s
sweet husband—the man who can’t handle hot showers and
wears socks to bed—is increasingly absent, even on those
rare nights they’re home together. When rumors about Brooke
and Julian swirl in the tabloid magazines, she begins to
question the truth of her marriage and is forced to finally
come to terms with what she thinks she wants—and what she
actually needs.
