Toronto native Margaret Rose Lester will continue her national book tour for recently tiffany “The Cocktail Hours,” which provides a humorous and all-too-realistic peek into the life of Hollywood celebrity and what it takes to get there. The tour, sponsored by Yelp and Benefit Cosmetics, will stop in Chicago on October 22nd from 6pm – 9pm at the Benefit Cosmetics Boutique in Lincoln Park.
Lester’s novel, inspired by her own personal experiences of the Hollywood scene, provides a humorous account of her protagonist, Charlie Sommers (formerly Charlene Tiffany Sommerton), on her path from star-struck Stanford University grad, to aspiring actress, to waitress, to girl who isn’t sure if L.A.’s “size 0, tanorexic culture” is worth shooting for.
During the public event, party-goers and book enthusiasts will have the opportunity to canoodle with the author, receive a special Benefit gift with purchase of the signed novel, all while sipping on “The Cocktail Hours” official book tour libation: The Starlet Martini, made with Finalandia(R) Vodka, Chambord (R), and a splash of lemon-lime.
“I am so excited to have this unique opportunity to get to know my readers and personally show my gratitude for their support of my first national book tour,” remarked Lester. “Chicago is a special place for me personally, and I’m looking forward to re-connecting with the city that set the stage for my career as a writer.”
