What happens when a child star ages out of the spotlight only to fall under a microscope? When you grow up and nobody-even your mother-wants that? Stephanie Burns writes funny and sad with the best of them. This is a must read if you've ever asked the question: Are there second chances for everyone or only the people who don't make mistakes?"

"I am in love with Far From the A List, Stephanie Burns's stunningly original debut novel--a story of a former child TV star who is searching to find who she is now that she's no longer the charming 7-year old who stole America's heart. You can't help but root for the irrepressible Michaela Turner as she navigates her way between lovers, would-be friends, her manipulative mother, obnoxious fans, her judgmental doorman, and way too many late nights clubbing in Manolo Blahnik heels. This book has everything I love: brilliantly drawn characters, great dialogue, wit, humor, and heartbreak--and twists and turns that kept me reading far into the night. Now that I've finished it, I want to read it again."
