If you read this book and didn't
immediately run to your local Ulta, Sephora, Mac (insert favorite
makeup store here) then you didn't really read this book. Beauty was
everything you wanted from a Louise novel. The heroine is brave and
beautiful, smart and sassy (again, insert your favorite matching
first letter adjectives here to make it more paunchy), she is
everything you want to be as a woman. This book followed the normal
formula of getting fucked over time and time again, and making it on
your own. I don't say this in a negative way though. This book makes
you proud to be a woman. It does, like all of her other books, make
you feel like you can do anything. I loved Dina, and I absolutely
loved Joel. He might be my favorite male character lead in any of her
books so far. There were so many parts to this book that I can't say
enough good things about, you just need to read it.
The writing in this was amazing, like
you'd expect. It had a lot of the things you come to expect from a
Mensch (Bagshawe, whatever) book. It had a great list of characters,
all very well developed, and with perfect dialogue. It was also a very
fast read. I don't recommend reading this if you have to work though;
it will most definitely cause it to drag on for many many hours until
you can return to reading (trust me, I know this from experience).
This book gets a five. I know I give out a whole lot of super high
ratings, and I am pretty easily pleased, but I still think it
deserves the score. While this book follows the same type of formula
as most of her other books, this one just seems like it is more. More
of everything, better developed maybe? I liked and hated (only the
ones you're supposed to hate) the characters more. I think the story
line was smoother, the emotions shown incredibly well, the characters
easier to relate to. It was a good story, that was well written. In
short, I loved it (obviously).
