A Star Is Bored Audiobook Summary
**This program is read by Noah Galvin, who starred in Dear Evan Hansen, The Real O’Neals, and Booksmart**
“A Star is Bored is an absolute knockout. Riotously funny and wickedly tender.”
— Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones and the Six
People Magazine Best Book of Summer 2020 – Named a Must-Read Summer book by Town & Country – Named One of the 14 Best Books of Summer 2020 by Harper’s Bazaar – One of Library Journal‘s 2020 “Titles to Watch” – One of the 30 Best Beach Reads According to Parade Magazine
The Devil Wears Prada meets Postcards From the Edge in a hilariously heartfelt novel influenced in part by the author’s time assisting Carrie Fisher.
Charlie Besson is tense and sweating as he prepares for an insane job interview. His car is idling, like his life, outside the Hollywood mansion of Kathi Kannon, star of stage and screen and People magazine’s worst dressed list. She needs an assistant. He needs a hero.
Kathi is an icon, bestselling author, and an award winning actress, most known for her role as Priestess Talara in a blockbuster sci-fi film. She’s also known in another role: crazy. Admittedly so. Famously so. Fabulously so, as Charlie quickly discovers.
Their three year odyssey is filled with late night shopping sprees, last minute trips to see the aurora borealis, and an initiation to that most sacred of Hollywood tribes: the personal assistant. But Kathi becomes much more than a boss, and as their friendship grows, Charlie must make a choice. Will he always be on the sidelines of life, assisting the great forces that be, or can he step into his own leading role?
Laugh-out-loud funny, and searingly poignant, Byron Lane’s A Star is Bored is a novel that, like the star at its center, is enchanting and joyous, heartbreaking and hopeful.
