Trying to remember a book title

9 replies

I've been trying to remember the title of a book that I read some years ago and it's really bugging me. Googling turns up nought. The bit of the plot that I remember is that the main character is a young woman with celebrity status. She falls off a table whilst drunk and loses an eye as she fell onto some broken glass. The book then follows her life as she comes to term with things. A bit that stuck out was that she kept driving even though she was told not to.

That's all I can remember, apart from that the author is a woman. Not much to go on! Any ideas?

Meant to say - it's fiction, not biographical.

any of these?

Was the woman a model? Has to have her face reconstructed?

@Standrewsschool

No, but thank you for looking.

Yes! That sounds familiar. Leading up to her accident she was fairly out of control with lots of drinking.

I think I've read it. Will have a look through my Kindle. I think 'Face' is in the title.

I am sadly excited just now as I never usually have a clue what these are despite reading loads - it is 'to be someone' by louise voss? Read it years ago so not 100% but I'm sure the plot sounds very similar

Aagh! Sorry I've been through my Kindle but not found it. I usually delete books from there if I'm absolutely sure I won't read them again and so that's probably why. I will come back if I have any inspiration but I'm terrible at remembering titles I'm afraid.

Yes!! That's the one!! Thank you. Phew, I can rest easy at bedtime now. It's been doing my head in for days. Very well-remembered. Smile
