How To Murder Your Life By Cat Marnell

From the New York Times bestselling author and former beauty editor Cat Marnell, a vivid, maddening, heartbreaking, very funny, chaotic (The New York Times) memoir of prescription drug addiction and self-sabotage, set in the glamorous world of fashion magazines and downtown nightclubs.

At twenty-six, Cat Marnell was an associate beauty editor at Lucky, one of the top fashion magazines in America and that's all most people knew about her. But she hid a secret life. She was a prescription drug addict. She was also a doctor shopper who manipulated Upper East Side psychiatrists for pills, pills, and more pills; a lonely bulimic who spent hundreds of dollars a week on binge foods; a promiscuous party girl who danced barefoot on banquets; a weepy and hallucination-prone insomniac who would take anything to sleep.
