Sobre este e-book
____________
'In Ruby, Forrest has created a Holden Caufield for our shallow, celebrity-obsessed, self-absorbed times ... worthy of Bret Easton Ellis or Jay McInerney. If you ever thought about trying to become a star, let Thin Skin be a warning to you' - Jon Ronson
____________
'My talents are: I knew what I wanted. I knew what I didn't want. I knew at a young age I have the added advantage of scrubbing up nicely when I feel like it, so I look like I have range, when really I just have good skin.'
At fifteen Ruby left home, got herself an agent and became a film star. Now twenty, she lives alone, in a world of hotels and fast food. Destructive and charming, cutting is Ruby's hobby. Her hair, her arms and occasional tattoos - her newest accessory is a bloodline necklace. A seductive blend of heroine and whore, she has left the man who loves her, been fired by her agent, and is starring in a film opposite the delectable Aslan. It is quite possibly her last chance.
Striking, funny and razor sharp, Thin Skin is a novel in which we see that sometimes you have to look over the edge in order to see your way back.
