Brat

An 80s Story

Brat by Andrew McCarthy is a candid, reflective memoir in which a former Brat Pack actor examines the highs and lows of early fame, the grip of addiction, and the slow work of rebuilding a life grounded in curiosity and meaning; weaving scenes from film sets and family life with vivid travel writing, McCarthy offers an unsparing portrait of reinvention, showing how solitude, hard choices, and a deepening compassion led him from celebrity to a more authentic adulthood.
