Kyra Felis is a struggling clothing designer in Manhattan.

Her last relationship ended years ago and she's hit that point in her mid-thirties when she won't date just for the sake of dating. She has her girlfrineds, her routine, her neighborhood, her work. Her life is just fine. But after a chance encounter with a celebrity, Kyra's life changes in ways she could never imagine. The Year of Living Famously explores what it's truly like to experience sudden stardom from its exhilarating highs to its crushing lows. Bestselling author, Carole Matthews (For Better, For Worse), says, "This is a stylish, sassy novel that shows the dark side that haunts the world of glamour and glitz."
