When her apartment burns her life begins to spiral downward. With the help of friends Kylie begins to learn that appearances aren't everything. ( )

Not her best work. This character paid no attention to the "cool" advice she gave. ( )

A disappointment after Edwards' first two entertaining novels, How to Be Cool steps too far into the chick-lit category. In fact, this book is almost too shallow to be readable. The main character obsesses about her weight every page, all the while keeping tabs on high profile 'celebrities' - basically, the topics you are overexposed to in every day life are beaten to a pulp in these pages. A little too cliche and shallow for my taste. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0425213846, Hardcover)

The national bestselling author of The Next Big Thing and Your Big Break presents her coolest novel yet. After shedding seventy pounds, Kylie found a new career transforming the socially inept from geek to chic. Her classes on How to Be Cool are Chicago's hottest ticket. But Kylie's still a dork at heart, and she'd die before she let her clients in on her overweight, nerdy past. Things start to unravel when Kylie's apartment burns down and she's forced to shack up with her parents. Making matters worse, there's a journalist shadowing her every move. The last thing Kylie needs is someone uncovering her dirty little secret... no matter how sexy he may be. Now, with her life spiraling out of control, the weight she fought so hard to lose is starting to creep back on. But with the help of her best friend Ruby, a confident plus-sized model, Kylie's starting to learn that appearances aren't everything-and that being the queen of cool isn't all it's cracked up to be.
