Infos

In this instant New York Times bestselling memoir, Gen X icon Ione Skye shares her ';delightfully juicy' (People) and achingly vulnerable story about chasing fame, desire, and true love in the shadow of her famous, absent father.In 1987, sixteen-year-old Ione Skye skyrocketed to fame with the breakout role of Diane Court, the dream girl who inspires John Cusack's iconic boombox serenade in the hit Cameron Crowe film, Say Anything. While Skye seemed perfectly typecast as an aloof valedictorian, she was anything but. Deserted by her dad, the folk singer legend Donovan, Skye dropped out of school in ninth grade and sought validation through her Hollywood career, working alongside iconic costars like Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Matthew Perry, John Cusack, and Robert Downey Jr. But like her sixties It Girl mom, Skye's greatest weakness was musicians. On the heels of a toxic relationship with Red Hot Chili Peppers's frontman Anthony Kiedis, which began when she was just sixteen and he was twenty-four, the actress leapt into wedded bliss with her first great love, Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz. But marriage was not the magical hall pass to adulthood Skye had imagined. Awakening to her bisexuality and desperately insecure, she risked her fairytale marriage for a string of affairs with gorgeous nineties ';bad girls.' The dream marriage imploded, and Skye's trust in herself and her future went with it. Set against the backdrop of rock royalty compounds, supermodel cliques, and classic late-century films like River's Edge, Gas Food Lodging, and Wayne's World, Say Everything is a wild ride of Hollywood thrills as well as lyrical reflection on ambition, intimacy, and a messy, sexy, unconventional life.
