On top of her boyfriend Ted's revelations about her to Star, "Her Voice" magazine acclaims that makeover show host Holly Klein has been voted the "shallowest woman in Hollywood". When she goes to run some errands, people curse her and someone steals her pursue. Homeless Leo Monroe recovers her purse, diaphragm and all.

Holly's producer and perhaps only real friend Nancy Catkin thinks Leo is perfect to provide a make over to Holly's battered image. The plan is to give the street hero a make over on her program. Leo reluctantly agrees thinking that this might be his ticket back to England and besides it will gives him a few weeks of luxury in her elite home with a pool. Neither anticipated an attraction between the glitter star and the pauper, but the sex deserves its own square on the Walk of Fame as even Holly wonders whether the relationship deserves decades beyond her show.

Chick lit fans will appreciate this lighthearted Hollywood romp between the "Princess" and the Pauper. Though the plot seems inane yet amusing on the surface, the story line has a serious undertone involving the homeless that works well because of Leo contrasts the two worlds, minutes apart yet zillions of lifestyles away. Thus Leo undergoes a physical makeover, but the shallowest person on the planet is actually the one that changes as he and his misfit associates touch the untouchable heart of Holly.

I hated this book. I could have cared less about any of these people and what happens to them. It was an excruciating experience to the end. The pace was slow and boring,the characters unbelievable and tedious. It as a shame and environmental travesty that trees were killed in order to publish this book. Pass it by

This book is fun for the first few pages, but then it fizzles. The writing is too clever for its own good, you don't care much about any of the characters and the plot is non-existent. There are SO many chick lit books that manage to be charming and entertaining, so this one is a failure by comparison. I'm not trying to compare it to great literature, but even within it's own somewhat trashy genre, it is remarkably undistinguished. I'm not sure what even kept me going except the drive to finish the darn thing and never have to see it again. Even the so-called sex scenes were a snore.
