What if beauty is more than just skin deep?
When Chelsea Martin’s future stepmother helps her transform from gawky and geeky into the hottest girl at her new school, Chelsea is pretty sure it’s the best thing that ever happened to her. But her hot new look has a downside. She’s attracting lots of guys who all have one thing in common: they’re jerks. Oh, and stealing the attention of all the guys in school doesn’t exactly make her BFF material for the girls.
Finally a great guy catches her eye. But he’s the only one around who doesn’t give her a second glance. Can Chelsea come up with a plan to get his attention? Or will her new image ruin everything?
ISLAND BREEZES
All Chelsea really wanted to do was keep a low profile and get to the end of the sh=chool year. Now she has to adjust to the idea that she’ll soon have a stepmother.
That was definitely something she wasn’t happy about, but Kate, her father’s intended, decided to do a makeover on Chelsea. That is the thing that managed to win over Chelsea’s acceptance of her. After all, Chelsea was now a hot number.
She had guys swarming after her like bees to honey. Sounds good, but every one of them turned out to be jerks. The one who wasn’t a jerk wouldn’t even give her the time of day.
Chelsea did make a girl friend whom she helped with a makeover. But things weren’t all coming up roses. It took a surpries at a weekend camp to really turn things around.
Geek to hot stuff and back to geek. Chelsea just wants something in between.
