The labyrinthine bureaucracy of assistants and the absurdity of life as part of a celebrity entourage would have been plenty of material alone for a comic novel. The dialogue is frequently laugh-out-loud funny, such as in a discussion between Jovi and Face--argued with the seriousness of the First Council of Nicaea--about the best Bruce Springsteen album. But as Jovi begins to develop a strange sympathy for Face, it also becomes clear that the star has a potentially violent stalker. This gripping tale will keep readers on the edge of their seats while leaving them pondering what makes celebrity--and what it costs.\" -- Kristen Allen-Vogel - Shelf Awareness","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49529109774679,"sku":"9781324094128","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781324094128.jpg?v=1731874337","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/about-face-9781324094128","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
