About this ebook
In this heartwarming tale of self-acceptance, Beatrice Wilson finds herself navigating the ups and downs of the fashion industry where image is everything
“This frothy fashion fancy keeps the pages turning . . . fizzy and funny.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Bee is something of a brainiac Cinderella.”—School Library Journal
After a heart-wrenching breakup and the added pressure of gaining weight, Beatrice seemingly stumbles upon her ticket to stardom. As a plus-size model, she must face off against skinny rivals, fend off paparazzi, and confront jealous frenemies along her journey to superstardom. Add being torn between her first love and a sincere up-and-coming rapper she tutors in calculus to an already full plate . . . well, to say Bee is getting overwhelmed is an understatement.
Will Bee rise above jealous palls, evil rivals, deceiving boys, and that nagging feeling that maybe her new life is one big, plus-size mistake?

The book had an average teen twist to how a fairytale should be; that's what made it good. If i was Bee I would sure be very confused about choosing my "prince charming". They both seem nice but one just had to go, i mean it's not everyday your boyfriend breaks a very expensive car and gets you fired from a video shoot? Being a supermodel isn't all about fame and beauty, it takes brains too. Loved the book. Thumbs up!

Very good book!!! It super funny and exciting because you never expect what is going to happen. While I was reading it I felt like I was really there and in the modeling industry because of the great details. It was very inspiring and I think that this is a good book not only for plus size teens but also a regular sized teen girl. It will leave you saying "This book is ducking awesome!!!!"
