Items related to Normal Girl: A Novel
At just nineteen, Miranda Woke seems to have it all. Her parents are famous socialites, she's already been written up on Page Six sixteen times, she's on all the right invitation lists, and drugs and alcohol are never in short supply. But while her image screams "It girl," she'd rather be a normal girl, and the A-list feels even more uncomfortable than her Manolo Blahnik shoes. In fact, she's become the "living embodiment of an awkward phase" with "more issues than Harper's Bazaar." Neither Xanax nor Deepak Chopra tapes help. And now that her junkie party has trashed her parents' house, she has to liquidate her trust fund to pay Mom's decorator for a quick fix. But worst of all, Miranda thinks she just murdered her own boyfriend.
In an all-too-glamorous world where the cell phone is always ringing, Miranda sees no escape other than a downward spiral of cocaine, Valium, and heroin. It takes friends who offer more than air kisses to force Miranda to look in the mirror and get some help.

Review:
So much talent, so young a writer! Hard-edged, savage, funny, brilliant. (Fay Weldon)
'It is part autobiography, part daughter's revenge and part elaboration of her new-found, old fashioned prescription for living.' Philip Delves Broughton, Weekend Telegraph
Normal Girl is a searing, bitchy, funny novel about priviledge in wretched excess and the accidental nature of grace--a fin de siecle East Coast Less Than Zero from the female point of view. Molly Jong-Fast is a prodigy. Parents everywhere should be horrified by this deeply impressive debut. (Jay McInerney)
'She rides the roller-coaster of her teenage years' Daily Telegraph
'[Molly Jong-Fast] spares no blushes' Observer
breathtakingly fast and accomplished first novel. Not only can Miss Jong-Fast write like an angel, she is also capable of genuine emotion (Daily Mail)
It is part autobiography, part daughter's revenge and part elaboration of her new-found, old fashioned prescription for living (Philip Delves Broughton, Weekend Telegraph)
'[Normal Girl] is already poised to be as talked-about as Fear of Flying' Interview Magazine
a snappy and sassy tale of New York upper-class deprivation in the mould of Bret Easton Ellis (Image Magazine)
'Wise-cracking, straight-talking, funny and fast' Aura
