Book ~ "The Year Of Living Famously" (2004) Laura Caldwell

From Amazon ~ Plenty of women wonder what it would be like to be married to a movie star but designer Kyra Felis finds out when she marries Irish actor Declan McKenna. When Kyra meets Declan in Las Vegas, he is on the cusp of stardom. The two have a whirlwind courtship and Declan proposes after a few months. Kyra is reluctant to leave New York for L.A. but her love for Declan wins out. At first, it's just a matter of adjusting to the culture and attending a premiere here and there, but then Normandy is released to rave reviews and an eager, vast audience, and its star, Declan, and, by default, Kyra are launched into superstardom. Everyone wants to interview Declan, and the paparazzi follow the couple everywhere. Declan's success helps to launch Kyra's clothing line but she is not sure she can deal with life in the spotlight. Caldwell's snazzy, gripping third novel gives readers an exciting taste of life in the fast lane, exposing the truth behind the fairy tale.

It was interesting to see what life is like behind the scenes of an actor and his wife.

I didn't like Kyra ... she was such a downer. She was always whining about something and was such a wet rag. There's no way she could have landed a fun Irishman like Declan. Why would he marry her?

I was imagining Gerry from P.S. I Love You when I was reading about Declan. He sounded like a good guy and was the only one I marginally cared about.
