WINNER of the Pacific Book Award for 2016's BEST FICTION. FROM THE FUNNY AND NATURALLY BRILLIANT DAVID LAMB (Amsterdam News), award-winning playwright of the New York Times celebrated play, Platanos Y Collard Greens, comes a modern spin on Dickens' classic tale that perfectly combines humor and romance in a story re-imagined for our digital, consumerist age.True Love Meets Super-Stardom, Can They Co-Exist?What's a beautiful high-powered lawyer to do when the sweet guy she fell for not only becomes music's biggest star, but it's biggest jerk? Give him a second chance or walk away and start over?When they met in college Belle was the campus queen who all the guys bowed down to, and Scrooge, or rather Scrooje, was the college runt they all picked on. Until Belle's love helped him discover his hidden talent. One-hundred million albums and two-and-a-half million Facebook likes later, more than twenty-five million fans lovingly call themselves Scrooje-ites. Having reached the top Scrooje's private jet whisks him away for long weekends on his own private island, the only place big enough to hold his ego.No longer the campus nerd with thick Coke-bottle glasses and mis-matched clothes, Scrooje is a sexy-superstar women fantasize about being with and men fantasize about being. And audiences can't get enough of his hit song "Money Like Trump"! But his legendary greed and backstabbing ways drive Belle away. They were once head-over-heels in love and never left each other's side. Maybe he doesn't deserve such a gorgeous, smart and confident woman who has the world at her beckoning. Besides, she walked away from him. Second chances don't often come around, but this night is different. This is his night on the Hollywood Red Carpet he dreamed about for so long. But.... there she is. Belle, the love of his life and the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, just walked down the red carpet. His knees weaken as emotions permeate his bones. And after three years of silence Belle's heart pounds with anticipation. Thoughts of a second chance strike him like a lightning bolt. Will she take him back? What will the world see on this most important night of their lives? Fast, hilarious and full of romance this modern twist on an old classic will have you laughing until your heart melts.
