Brat: An '80s Story

Brat: An '80s Story is a heartfelt memoir that takes readers on a journey through the life of Andrew McCarthy, a charter member of Hollywood's Brat Pack.

This book offers a unique perspective on coming of age in the 1980s, with vivid descriptions of New York City and personal revelations of innocence lost to heady days in Hollywood.

McCarthy's prose shines with intelligence and intimacy as he ponders some of the biggest and most frightening questions surrounding intimacy: How does a loner connect? How does a traveler settle down? How do we merge into families without losing ourselves? This is a must-read for fans of Patti Smith's Just Kids and Rob Lowe's Stories I Only Tell My Friends.
