Screamingly funny and defiant — a must-read book for the summer! This is a book for anyone who's ever faced herself in the mirror, wondered if a new lipstick could change her life, and either read Vogue or thrown it across the room. When eighteen-year-old Becky Randle's mother dies, she's summoned from Missouri to meet Tom Kelly, the top designer in the world. He makes her an impossible offer: He'll create three dresses to transform Becky from an ordinary girl into the world's most beautiful woman. Becky thinks Tom is a lunatic, but she accepts and is remade as Rebecca. When Becky looks in the mirror, she sees herself — a mess of split ends and cankles. But when anyone else looks at Becky, they see five-alarm hotness. Soon Rebecca is the darling of the fashion world, but when she meets meets Prince Gregory, heir to the British throne, everything starts to crumble. Because Rebecca aside, Becky loves him. And the idea of a prince looking past Rebecca to fall in love with the ordinary girl inside? There's not enough magic in the world.

5.0 Gorgeous - Paul Rudnick

While I didn't love this book, I can say that it surprised me how much I ended up enjoying it. You might have seen me post how utterly baffled I was when I first started this. Paul Rudnick's story isn't something I've read before. It's completely out in left field, and yet that's what kept my attent...

Basic premise: after her mother’s death, average-but-not-remotely-glamorous 18 year-old Becky Randle meets Tom Kelly (a thinly-veiled Calvin Klein), the most famous designer in the world. Tom makes her a one-time offer: he’ll design three dresses, which she will wear as the model for Tom Kelly the b...

4.0 The Most Beautiful Woman in the World can she pull it off?
We all like to dream “what if.” One of my favorite movies is Pretty Woman where we have a young woman who was working the streets climb the ladder of success all because someone recognized that she had potential. Someone saw that she had more to offer society and eventually her life becomes a fair...
