I have just finished Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick. This is the first of anything I have read by him and what I believe is his first YA novel. Though this is one of the smartest and sassiest YA I have ever read.
After Becky's mother dies she finds a phone number that will change her life. Super-designer Tom Kelly will give her three dresses that will make her the most beautiful woman in the world. She has 24 hours to accept and become Rebecca or go back to East Trawley, Missouri and live out her rather uninspiring life as Becky. So of course she says "yes." What follows is of course a novel about discovering ones-self, as all YA is. (I have written about this before, but frustratingly cannot find the post, dang it.) But so much more it is a novel about the power of beauty, the trick of beauty, and the love of self and others for what they are, not what they seem to be. (There are many layers to this last one.) It was a novel that truly surprised me and would be fodder for great discussions in a high school book club (Yes, this is solidly a high school choice.)
