Charlie is a man with many hats - assistant, life coach, body guard, therapist, pharmacist, travel agent, publicist - the list goes on. He is the assistant to a mega star whose life borders on the insane.
There are two phrases that Charlie learns to love and fear, "acting? NO" and "what's next? I'm bored". Incredible trips are followed with manic highs and lows, outrageous shopping and plenty of name dropping. Everyone knows she's out of control but Charlie just wants to fix her. He will only realize after it is all behind him how much she changes his life. Byron Lane knows a little bit about this life because he used to be Carrie Fisher's assistant. My heart rate was dangerously high as I sped through the pages - equally mesmerized and terrified of what I read. This funny heart warming and heart breaking story shows us that trying to care for someone with a mental illness and addition is like trying to catch raindrops in a glass. Just what you need to break out of those quarantine blues. 4 stars
