This review is from: French Jade (Mass Market Paperback)

Minna Redmond has always been overshadowed by her beautiful french cousin, Gabrielle, even though they look similar. When she overhears a friend, Oliver Seymour, calling her plain and dowdy she is so enraged she decides to masqerade as Gabrielle and make him fall in love with her.

I can suspend disbelief on the silly plot as long as the story is entertaining, but the whole story is weighted down by interfering relatives and the heroine's own feelings of inferiority. When the real Gabrielle --- could you doubt she would? --- shows up, although the author tries to show that Minna is slowly finding herself and standing up for herself, it all just seemed awkward and embarrassing and no fun.
