Landon Brinkley is making her dreams come true. After years of poring over glossy photos of celebrity parties in People and US Weekly, she’s landed her Holy Grail: an internship with the fabulous Selah Smith, event planner to the Hollywood elite. Moving from small town Texas to Los Angeles, Landon finds herself in a world in which spending a million dollars on an event – even for kids’ birthdays – is de rigueur. The thrill of working on A-list parties and celeb weddings is enough to get her through the 75-hour workweeks, the nightmare of a multi-day film festival, and abuse at the hands of a mercurial boss. But confronted with the seamy realities of the business, she is forced to make a choice: do whatever it takes to get ahead, or stay true to herself.
A roman a clef in the vein of The Devil Wears Prada, PARTY GIRL draws on the author’s real life experience for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the celebrity-obsessed world of event planning. From the party habits of America’s favorite underage singer to the worst Bridezilla of all (the kind that graces the cover of your favorite magazine), PARTY GIRL reveals the ugly side of Hollywood’s prettiest parties.
Elle says
…
Party Girl by Rachel Hollis is a delightful read full of spunk and is the perfect cure for any book hangover. This novel is written with finesse and was a clean easy read.
Landon Brinkley has sass and doesn’t let peers in the party planning industry intimidate her. Despite being the new girl at Selah Smith’s firm, she dives head first into her new job and really invests her heart into each task no matter how trivial. She refuses to be cast aside or deemed insignificant. Her resilience and tough skin made it easy to fall in love with her.
What I loved most about this story was its story. Rachel Hollis digs into the nitty gritty details of party planning. The situations and event hiccups were realistic and believable. The business is cut throat and so are the characters. Even if your star shines, your career can be blacklisted in the blink of an eye. I loved the drama. I loved the backstabbing. I loved watching Landon adapt and adjust.
For an uplifting and entertaining read that’s sure to brighten your mood pick up your copy of Party Girl by Rachel Harris. Follow Landon Brinkley’s journey into the lion’s den and the elite world of event planning.
