    About this ebook

    #1 Amazon Bestseller

    “Very realistic as to the things I do as a plastic surgeon.”
    —Dr. Stephen Greenberg, New York plastic surgeon

    Dr. Harry Previn, the renowned Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, is secretly called in to operate on the disfigured face of the ravishingly beautiful teen pop star Fay Wray following an assault. Surrounded by image makers who value beauty over all else, he soon fears Fay is in mortal danger. Will he risk everything to save her beauty, her life, or himself?

    Plastic is a novel of psychological suspense about a heinous crime that leads to a desperate Hollywood cover up. Welcome to “The Capital of Good Looks,” an ephemeral world of celebrity and beauty crashing at the intersection of Hollywood and rock and roll.

      I wanted to read this book ever since I saw the cover when it was released. I picked up a copy and it sat for a bit. I finally picked it up. Sadly, this book did not turn out to be the winner that I was hoping it would be. The surprise out of this book however was Harry. It did not seem like the type of guy that I would like. In the beginning, he came off as kind of a douche but he was the only person that I somewhat cared for in this book. The rest of the characters were not likeable or interesting. Even Fay, did not come off as grateful to Harry for saving her life. The "psychological" thriller aspect of this book was not strong. There was more cut throat action than it was psychological thriller. This mixed with the fact that most of the characters were not relatable or likeable made the overall book not to be the winner that I was looking for.
