Small-town reporter Kate Miller has never been a fashion do––until now.
Kate Miller is no beauty expert. The rookie reporter from small-town England can’t walk properly in a pair of heels and doesn’t know the first thing about waxing. But then she receives an incredible phone call. Darling magazine in New York wantsher to be their new beauty editor! So what if she has no idea whether gray eyeshadow is the new black kohl? Suddenly Kate—along with her deep-discount clothes and hopelessly dated hair—is in the Big Apple, being swept away by the world of fashion. But she better find a way to put a positive spin on plastic surgery for the big yearly supplement or she’ll lose everything––including the hotshot plastic surgeon-to-the-stars who thinks Kate’s beauty is way more than skin deep.
“Deliciously taut and sparky. A fascinating subject for a novel…It really is rare for popular fiction to handle such an incendiary controversial subject so well.””
--Marian Keyes
“A great read. Reaffirms my Botox.”
--Trinny Woodall, cohost of What Not To Wear
“A fun and fantastic romp through the world of glamour as only a true insider can know.”
--Poppy King
" [F]ans of Marian Keyes will enjoy this story of literal and figurative make- overs and cover-ups ."
--Booklist
