"Everyone thinks Ruby is beautiful except for Ruby, who is so hell-bent on being ugly that she's driven away the man who loves her, the agent who swears he could have made her a star, and the delectable male costar of her latest project, Mean People Suck. After all, Ruby believes that what's going on outside should reflect what's on the inside- and inside she's a mess. Burned-out at the age of twenty, she's living alone in a world of hotels and fast food- none of which she keeps down- haunted by the memory of her childhood love, cutting herself, and tempted to repeat her mother's tragic fate. She needs to find a new way of being.... and fast."


Didn't get through all of it. I bought it out of desperation for something to read and realized I really wasn't that desperate half way through. The narrator got on my nerves, but that might have just been me not catching onto the Brit slang :)
