Bee's life is nearly perfect. She's having a great year in college with her boyfriend, Brian. Then he dumps her and it feels like her world is coming to an end.

She's got to find a way to get him back and becomes obsessed about it. Then she meets Chela, who once used to date "Lyin' Brian." She convinces Bee that he's not worth it and the two become fast friends. Bee is enjoying life again and realizing that while she still misses Brian, she will be okay.

Bee is launched into the world of modeling when she is "discovered" by an agent. The plus-size realm is competitive, and Bee becomes an instant enemy with Savannah Hughes, who is at the top of all the campaigns. Bee is whisked to far away places, wearing amazing clothes, and attending premieres and award events. Even Brian comes crawling back to her!

Can Bee juggle it all - her dream of being a pediatrician, a modeling career, plus her boyfriend and friends? Not to mention Savannah, who insists on knocking her down whenever possible?

This was a terrific novel that moves very quickly. I didn't want to put it down!
