This may be a 2.5 star book. I honestly don't know if I like this one or not. It was weird, and I can't decide if it is good weird or bad weird. The characters were kind of 2D, and the author's screenplay background is apparent in the dialogue (it's up to you to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing).
Fair warning - stay away if you are the type of person to read something and go, "That's ridiculous! That would NEVER happen!"
I could see younger YA readers enjoying the story line (country bumpkin gets transformed into the most beautiful girl in the world thanks to a mysterious designer, becomes a model/movie star/girlfriend of the Prince of England), but I would be hesitant to suggest it to them because of the language (angry parents make me nervous).
Rant time:
