Perfect Skin
by Nick Earls
Perfect Skin is a witty, moving and highly original snapshot of what it is to be thirysomething in a post-Duran Duran world.Ten years have passed since Jon Marshall's footloose bachelor days, and he's come a long way. He's a partner in his own laser surgery practice, owns a nice house in an even nicer suburb and cruises town in a Beemer. And he is a single dad to his six-month-old daughter, Lily, affectionately known as the Bean.But life hasn't taken the path Jon thought it would in his twenties. Buddies George, Oscar and Wendy coax each other through the challenges - back hair, dating etiquette, and a certain clumsiness with domestic pets - and Jon's friendship with Ash breaks all the rules. But it's the Bean who shows him life's possibilities.Perfect Skin is a witty, moving and highly original snapshot of what it is to be thirtysomething in a post-Duran Duran world.
