Book Description
The Hollywood Misadventures of a Small-Town Girl
Tales of ambition, delusion, drugs, sex, and misogyny… including selling T-shirts on the Girls Gone Wild bus
GIRL GONE WILD is a collection of exploits and delusions about chasing your dreams with reckless abandon and what happens when their pursuit becomes a new kind of trap. In this memoir-in-essays, Kocak takes readers along on her heady metamorphosis from girl to woman and from dreamer to professional artist, as she is transformed in this unwitting feminist coming-of-age. It’s a wild, cringeworthy, and often heartbreaking tale, but with Kocak’s wry wit and clear-eyed accounting, it’s nothing short of captivating.
