The Bored and the Beautiful, (Hardcover)

<b>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 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling memoir <i>How to Murder Your Life</i>.</b> <p>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. </p><p>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? <i>The Bored and the Beautiful</i> 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.</p>
