by Zara Barrie

Overview

"Reading Zara's writing will make you feel like you're at your cool-as-hell big sister's sleepover party. You will be transfixed by her unflinching honesty and words of wisdom, and she'll successfully convince you to not only ditch the shame you feel about the raw and messy parts of yourself, but to dare to see them as beautiful."—Alexia LaFata, Editor, New York Magazine

"If Cat Marnell and F. Scott Fitzgerald had a literary baby it would be Zara Barrie. She's got Marnell's casual, dark, downright hilarious tone of an irreverent party girl. But then she also has Fitzgerald's talent for making words literally feel like they sparkle on the page. I've always been a fan of Zara's writing but Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup takes it to the next level. With shimmery words that make her dark stories sparkle, she seamlessly manages to inspire even the most coked-out girl at the party to get her shit together."—Candice Jalili, Senior Sex & Dating Writer, Elite Daily

Editorial Reviews

Zara has the rare talent of marching into the deepest, darkest moments of life, scooping them up, and thrusting them into the light with amazing clarity, forgiveness, and compassion. I had the honor of watching Zara blossom into the emotionally raw and poetic writer she is now. Her gripping first-person narratives help every woman come to terms with her own demons or insecurities in a refreshingly comfortable way. Her candid honesty and no bullshit advice are simply addicting.

Love this book! Barrie has a skill for spinning vulnerable, piercingly honest tales of sex, drugs, and transgression while poignantly leading her reader and herself towards hope and enlightenment. A book about GIRL Power in the age of anxiety that will resonate with women looking for something much more than happy ever after- at least in the traditional sense. Read to understand what dangerous girls with glittering eyes are thinking and feeling as they learn to conquer their demons and triumph.
