Description
Gorgeous goddesses seem to surround script-reader and wannabe movie-maker Anna Brown - from her deranged glamour-queen boss to her perfect, pouting flat-mates - for Anna, being less-than-beautiful is very hard to bear. With a dead-end job and a ghastly boyfriend to boot, she wonders if she can ever be a success. In fashion- and beauty-crazed London, perhaps being talented just isn't enough. Enter Mark Swan, Britain's hottest director. Rugged, reclusive and powerful, everybody wants a piece show more of him - from studio heads to supermodels. He could be Anna's ticket to the top, but how can she ever hope to snag such a big star? Fed up of being downbeat and dowdy, Anna decides to chase her dreams and, with a little help from her friends, embarks on a madcap scheme to get just what she's after... show lessTags

This British chick lit novel has a swoon-worthy love interest, and a plucky plain heroine who works in a film company (making for rich office scenes) and lives with models. 372 pages went very quickly.
this is a total beach read - the plot was so-so but it kept me flipping pages - which is the point with this kind of book... I liked the author's style enough to read her again - I would try to read one of her more popular books though in hopes of a better plot...
