Say Everything

From Gen X IT Girl Ione Skye comes a wild ride of Hollywood thrills, confessions, and desire. Heartfelt and entertaining, Say Everything pulls back the covers on a messy, sexy, defiantly unconventional life.

Best known as John Cusack's dream girl in the classic 1989 film Say Anything, Ione Skye has been breaking hearts and surviving heartbreaking- both on and off screen – ever since.

Deserted by her dad, the folk-singing legend Donovan, she raced through girlhood at warp speed, chasing warmth and validation through acting and affairs with some of the brightest lights in entertainment.

On the heels of a toxic teen relationship with the decade-older Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Skye leapt into emotional security and wedded bliss with Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz. But marriage at twenty-one was not the magical hall pass to adulthood she'd imagined. Her Hollywood fairy tale imploded, taking her trust in love- and herself- along with it.

With bold vulnerability, Skye reflects on the art, sex, films, and friendships that helped her grow beyond the pain of her past and into an electrifying womanhood. No longer looking to others for self-worth, she finds reconciliation with her father, satisfaction in meaningful roles, and, at last, a second change at true love.

Set against the backdrop of a gritty, dreamy, late-twentieth-century Los Angeles, Say Everything, is a deeply introspective, lushly cinematic memoir that leaves nothing unsaid.
