Over 3,250 5-Star Reviews!
From actor, director, and Brat Pack icon Andrew McCarthy comes an intimate memoir about fame, ambition, and coming of age in 1980s Hollywood and New York.
Known for unforgettable roles in Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire, Weekend at Bernie’s, and Less than Zero, McCarthy became one of the defining faces of a generation. In Brat, he reflects on that singular moment in time and the unexpected impact of being swept into a cultural phenomenon.
Set against the backdrop of 1980s New York City and Hollywood, McCarthy recounts his journey from a restless teenager exploring the streets and revival theaters of Greenwich Village to a young actor navigating sudden success alongside fellow Brat Pack stars. Along the way, he grapples with ambition, addiction, masculinity, and the loss of innocence that accompanied fame.
Filled with candid reflections, behind-the-scenes stories, and vivid portraits of the people who shaped his life, Brat is a thoughtful and revealing memoir about identity, success, and finding meaning beyond the spotlight.
