Lucy Harper was a hopelessly inept nerd in high school. She and her two best friends, Jana and Grady, hung out together and are still best friends today. They both knew Lucy had a huge crush on Jason Prescott, super jock and the most popular guy in the class. Prom night was a horrible embarrassment for Lucy, thanks to Jason the Jock.

Now, it's ten years later and Lucy has received an invitation to the 10-year class reunion. Determined that the outcome of the reunion will be totally different for her than the prom was, Lucy heads to Glass Slipper, Inc., for two weeks of makeover heaven -- or hell, depending on how you look at it. Made over from head to toe, Lucy wows Jason the Jock, who asks her out -- week after week. But dating Jason isn't as thrilling as she expected it would be. And she suddenly sees her relationships aren't what she thought they'd been, either. Life is going to change for Lucy, whether she's ready or not.

I knew I'd enjoy SLEEPING WITH BEAUTY because I like the way Ms. Kauffman writes, and I've enjoyed all her other novels. I like Lucy, Grady and Jana and all the fussing back and forth like life really is. And I enjoyed going to the Glass Slipper, of course. A good book for the beach, a lazy afternoon, whatever free time you can come up with, I think you'll enjoy SLEEPING WITH BEAUTY, too.
