Carly North, a beautiful up-and-coming model, is eager to go to a reception party for "Flawless". ("Flawless" is looking for a new face to launch it's make-up campaign.) But Carly has different reasons for wanting to attend. She wants to meet up with Saul Kingsland (a photographer) who hurt her five years ago, and she is planning her revenge.

Five years ago Carly was going to be in her cousin Louise's wedding, which was to be photographed and made into a book by a popular, new photographer Saul Kingsland. All the bridesmaids were crazy about him, especially young and gawky Carly. (Carly was seventeen, was too tall, skinny, wore glasses, and had a long nose.) After following him around like a lost puppy while he took pictures of the bridesmaids Carly developed a huge crush on him. But one day, while looking for Saul, Carly eventually found him and another girl (Katie) he was photographing outside (the girl Katie was topless and sort of a floozy) and Carly ended up eavesdropping. Katie was making snide comments to Saul about how Carly didn't fit in with the other, prettier, smaller bridesmaids because Carly was so ugly and grotesque and Katie thought Carly was going to ruin the "bridesmaid's book"/photos with her bad looks. Then Saul replied to Katie that "she's (Carly) practically an object lesson in how not to look". After overhearing this (without Saul and Katie knowing it) a hurt and upset Carly tells everyone she's too ill to be in the wedding and leaves. Then she decides to have cosmetic surgery and plans her revenge against Saul.

I liked Saul, he was a good hero. At first I didn't like how Saul talked badly about Carly with the cheap girl (Katie) he was photographing, he should've had more class. But later in the book he explained why he said what he said. Carly went a little overboard with her revenge, but alot of people (family, bridesmaids) really put her down and she truly believed she looked like a freak (even though she didn't sound that bad.) After hearing Saul's comments about her, I guess she finally snapped.

I can't resist a vengeful heroine so I enjoyed this story. It was a captivating and crazy read. (Even though it wasn't as crazy as Sally Wentworth's plastic surgery/heroine-revenge story "The Judas Kiss". The heroine in that story was even crazier and more ruthless.) ( )
