I decided to read this book because I quite liked Louise's book Glitz. I didn't enjoy this book much. The storyline was pretty dull to me, but that my be because I'm used to young adult fantasy that has a lot going on in the plot. Another reaso I didn't like this book was because of the sexual content.

This was a cute read. It has its flaws, yes, but it's light and fun, has a happy ending and brings attention to stupid issues in society such as what makes a woman beautiful.
I like how the story is told from Anna's PoV and as the story goes and she evolves and changes her views on herself (mind and body) our perception of her changes too.
At times I got frustrated with certain female characters and their stereotypes, but Bagshawe gave them (well, the most important ones) depth and interesting personalities.
I didn't like the Lily+Henry+Janet+Ed thing. How it was solved. It felt too rushed. I'm glad they sorted it all out, but it felt rushed. Not unbelievable, but rushed.
Still, overall a cute nice read perfect to get over book hangovers :)
