Gorgeous: Confidence, Intrigue & Comedy

Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick is a comedic experience you don't want to miss! You'll either be laughing or crying the entire time. I absolutely loved this book. The dialogue was it's biggest asset, but what else could we expect from a play writer? Becky Randle is a very nerdy girl. She's from a trailer park and her mother weighs over 400 pounds. Though it starts out with her mother's death it was done with such a comedic tone it took an edge off of the sorrow without downplaying it. As her last clues Becky gets a phone number from her mom after making a mysterious promise to say yes to the magic when it comes. Tom Kelley, one very handsome and very famous designer, decides he's going to turn geeky becky from this:

....to this... 

In Tom Kelley's words she'll become "the most beautiful girl in the world". Though this isn't some shallow book. Our dear Becky turns into Rebecca, but Tom is going to make her learn what love is by having her go after the Prince of Wales. Becky will struggle like most of us do, with love, with death, and with living a life where you're just confident in who you are.

This is definitely a book I recommend. I think most girls should read because it teaches both valuable life lessons without making us look too deeply into ourselves at one time. The reflection comes with each chapter, and for me the realization of what i learned didn't come until the end.
