I'm Johanna Morrigan. I'm nineteen, it's 1995, and I live in the epicentre of Britpop.
I share a laundrette with one of Blur, and have takeaway spaghetti bolognese for breakfast, every day - because I can. Parklife!
As 'The Legendary Dolly Wilde', I write a column for The Face about being surrounded by people getting fame wrong. Not least my long-term and unrequited love, John Kite. When his album goes to Number One, he explodes into a Booze and Drugs Hell TM, as rockstars do.
More sinister is hot young comedian Jerry Sharp. 'He's a vampire,' my friend Suzanne warns. 'He destroys bright young girls. Also, he's a total dick.'
But by that point, I've already had sex with him. Bad sex.
And I'm one of the girls he's trying to destroy. He needs to be stopped.
But how can one girl stop a powerful, famous man?
