Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick, 327 pages

This was a wonderful fairy tale for the modern age, a version of Catskin updated to our tabloid reading, gossip hungry, beauty worshipping society. Becky travels to New York after her mother dies. She is offered the chance at impossible beauty, but she must find love and marry in one year. As Rebecca, she turns heads, and finds herself within reach of all she ever dreamed of, including marriage to a handsome young prince. But, as heroines so often find out, not all fairy tales end with a "happily ever after".
This book was wickedly funny, sweet and touching, and ended perfectly. I will eagerly be looking for more books by this author.
