Sand in my toes, wind in my hair, and my friends by my side . . . What more could I ask for? Princess came to LA to make something of herself, to share her music, and find real love . . . She’s got an amazing squad of friends and a certain blue-eyed man who she can’t get out of her head. With a new single just released, everyone wants a piece of her: party invitations, paparazzi, and custom couture dresses abound. She’s living her California dream. But Hollywood isn’t exactly what she thought it would be. Behind closed doors, there’s lies and loneliness disguised by smiles and laughter. It’s hard to know who to trust, or what’s fake and what’s real. Princess just wants success—on her own terms—but needs to make sure she doesn’t lose herself in the process. This juicy debut novel by international recording artist Pia Mia is an intimate, insider peek at the ups and downs of fame in the music industry, told from the point of view of an up-and-coming pop star.
作品考察・見どころ
著者のピア・ミアが音楽業界の深部から放つ本作は、ハリウッドの眩い光と、裏に潜む冷徹な虚飾を鮮烈に描きます。スパンコールの輝きとシリコンの無機質さが交錯する筆致は、現代的な自己喪失の危うさを鋭く突き、読者の胸を締め付けます。 虚実入り混じる社交界で、主人公が「自分だけの声」を守り抜こうとする魂の彷徨こそが、本作最大の文学的魅力です。孤独な嘘に抗い、真実の愛と自律した成功を掴み取ろうとする情熱的な旅路は、夢を追うすべての者へ、強烈な共感と勇気を授けてくれるでしょう。
