Kate Miller is an earnest reporter for a small-town newspaper and a no-frills kind of girl, but when the editor of New York’s Darling magazine calls out of the blue and asks her to be the new beauty editor, she can hardly turn down the opportunity. Kate manages to muddle through her first week, picking knowledge up as she goes along and finding she likes the perks of the high-fashion world. But when she is sent to L.A. for Darling’s special plastic-surgery supplement, she is determined to turn it around from the shallow promotion it normally is. In L.A. she meets the renowned plastic surgeon John Kingsley III and takes an immediate dislike to him after his secretary introduces Kate to a woman whose Kingsley-performed plastic surgery went horribly wrong. But just as Kate is posing as a beauty guru, the surgeon, his victim, Kate’s editor, and even her French coworker are not what they seem. Fans of Marian Keyes will enjoy this story of literal and figurative makeovers and cover-ups. --Hilary Hatton
