English Summary/英文概要： Is there such a thing as the perfect body?Vivian Ward thinks she is in total control of her life. Actually...she s thirty five, an out-of-work actress who puts more effort into partying than getting good parts, is estranged from her family and emotionally unavailable to her boyfriend.
Truth is, the only thing she s in control of is what s on her plate...
But then she meets movie star Maximilian Fry, who’s just as screwed up, and journeys into a world of celebrity even more damaging than the one she was already living in. Will image triumph, or will she realise that some of her answers lie within?
A hilarious and thought-provoking novel about self-esteem and the cult of skinny...and what happens when you re funny about food but the joke starts to wear thin
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 有完美身材这种事吗？
薇薇安•沃德认为她可以掌控她的生活。实际上，比起来努力获得一个角色，这个三十五岁的待业女演员更大的精力放在了参加派对上，而且越来越疏远家人，在心里并不接受自己的男朋友。
那么，唯一她能够控制的不过是餐盘里放的是什么
之后她遇到了喝大了的电影明星马克西米兰•弗莱，进入了一个大名人圈，甚至比她之前的处境更具腐蚀性。她是会幻想成功还是会认清她自己在骗自己。
小说关于自尊和对鬼身材的痴迷，以及当你对食物感兴趣但不得不少吃点时会发生的事，有趣而发人深省。(LNL)
