Chelsea Parker's Pity Party (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

CHELSEA PARKER'S "UNUSUALLY SOPHISTICATED prose line" is devoted not to her unexpected musical stardom, nor her eye goop condition that's "padded the wallets of many an ear nose and throat man," but only towards her on-again/off-again best friend: the winsome-yet-cavalier Stacey Jalapeno, recipient of all Chelsea's cruellest meme-based zingers, yet also her most sublimated affections. Things get weird as the lifelong frenemies reach a rarified strata of fame and power. Rather than tiresome zombies or Forever 21 vampires, the action involves paranormal subjects including interdimensional travel, CERN bacchanals, and doppelgangers run amok. Grounding this madcap plot is the evolution of Chelsea's relationship to Stacey-from doormat, to aggrieved litigant, to something eternally more complicated. As Chelsea is a less than wholly-reliable narrator, the real nature of her relationship to Stacey eventually emerges in a fashion that is clear to all but Chelsea herself.
