<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Inspired by Fisher's own emotional battles, "The Best Awful" relates the story of a woman who is on the verge of, in the depths of, and in recovery from a psychotic breakdown.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>This sequel to the bestselling <i>Postcards from the Edge</i> contains Carrie's Fisher's trademark intelligence and wit that brought <i>Postcards</i> to the Hollywood movie screen.</b> <p/>When we left Suzanne Vale at the end of Carrie Fisher's bestselling <i>Postcards from the Edge, </i> she had survived drug abuse, rehab, and Hollywood celebrity. <i>The Best Awful</i> takes Suzanne back to the edge with a new set of troubles--not the least of which is that her studio executive husband turned out to be gay and has left her for a man. <p/>Lonely for a man herself, Suzanne decides that her medication is cramping her style, and she goes off her meds--with disastrous results. The "manic" side of the illness convinces her it would be a good idea to get a tattoo, cut off her hair, and head to Mexico with a burly ex-con and a stash of OxyContin. As she wakes up in Tijuana, the "depressive" side kicks in, leading Suzanne through a series of surreal psychotic episodes before landing her in a mental hospital. With the help of her movie star mom, a circle of friends, and even her ex-husband, she begins the long journey back to sanity. <p/><i>The Best Awful</i> is by turns highly comic and darkly tragic, a roller-coaster ride through the dizzying highs and crushing lows of manic depression, delivered with fast and furious wit.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>People</i> No-holds-barred humor and snappy banter.<br><br><i>Vanity Fair</i> Carrie Fisher [is] one of our most painfully hilarious correspondents from the edge of sanity.<br>
