Set in the 1980s and 1990s, this memoir reminded me of the Manhattan media world I grew up in – before social media when glossy magazines and music videos were all-powerful.
The author is a suburban Jersey girl who stumbles into a job at Rolling Stone magazine back when it was able to make or break careers.

From Kay's list on women leaving home to find success in the big city.
