The Best Awful There Is (retitled The Best Awful as a paperback), is a 2004 novel by actress and author Carrie Fisher.[1] It is a sequel to her debut novel Postcards from the Edge.[2]
Like most of Fisher's books, this novel is semi-autobiographical and fictionalizes events from her real life.[3] The book features the protagonist character Suzanne Vale that first appeared in Postcards from the Edge.[4] The book fictionalizes the author's relationship with Bryan Lourd, the father of her daughter Billie Lourd.[5]
The Best Awful There Is was later published with the shorter title The Best Awful and is now largely known by this title.

In her novel, and in the interview, Ms. Fisher says her relationship with her 11-year-old daughter, Billie (named Honey in the book), forced her to take control of her life. Ms. Fisher and her former husband, Bryan Lourd, a partner at the Creative Artists Agency, are jointly rearing the child, and the book is dedicated to them.
