It was 1994: post-Liz Phair, mid-Courtney Love, just shy of Alanis Morissette. After seven years of slogging it out in the Boston music scene, Jen Trynin gave "making it" one last shot. It worked. Major labels offered millions of dollars in deals. "Billboard" put her on the cover. Everyone knew she was the Next Big Thing. But then she wasn't. Catapulted to the edge of rock stardom Trynin plummeted back down to earth. "Everything I'm Cracked Up to Be" is the story of a girl who got what she wished for--and lived happily ever after anyway."
""Hilarious . . . expertly observed . . . At once bittersweet and laugh-out-loud funny, it captures the music biz at its most surreal."--"HITS
""I've read enough biz books to be certain this is one of the best . . . Read it quick."--Robert Christgau, "The Village Voice" Jen Trynin lives in Boston with her husband and daughter. This is her first book. She still rocks, when she feels like it. For more: www.JenTrynin.com.
