Cat Marnell: Bored & Beautiful Hb, Gebunden

Klappentext

A downtown 'it' girl falls for an influential journalist who pushes her addiction issues with love, pills and headlines - to the breaking point, in the intoxicating and propulsive first novel from the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir How to Murder Your Life.

Meet Dizzy Calatrava: blonde, brilliant and perpetually one cigarette away from collapse. It's 2012 and she's a downtown writer with a tabloid presence, a narcotics habit and a tendency to treat New York City like her own private paradise. Unreliable yet unforgettable, Dizzy pops amphetamine pills like Tic Tacs, drifting between Thai rehabs and rooftop afterparties like a sorceress in platforms, narrating the apocalypse of her thirties in prose so sparkling you can feel it burn your nose.

When Dizzy meets Editor-In-Chief, a charming, fellow media personality whose bad behavior only helps his star rise, she wonders if perhaps she's met her true match. But is this a tale of two kindred flames igniting, or is Dizzy flying too close to the sun? The Bored and the Beautiful is a dark, feminine and salacious glimpse into the mind of a lovable protagonist who you can't help but root for as she makes every mistake you can imagine - and probably some you can't.
