Diary of an Ugly Duckling. Дневник гадкого утенка

What makes an otherwise sane woman appear on a reality TV show?Especially one as drastic as Ugly Duckling? For Audra Marks, the last straw comes when she loses her shot with handsome Art Bradshaw to the prettier and lighter-skinned Esmeralda Prince. Audra’s always lived in a classic movies fantasy world of diva dames and handsome heroes, where the costumes are gorgeous, the good guys always win, and love always triumphs. But now, her heart broken, she’s decided to do anything to get back her man and show her hypercritical mother she can «pretty up» with the best of them in the bargain.After all, if the folks at Ugly Duckling can transform a homely, buck-toothed white girl into a ravishing beauty, just think what they’ll be able to do with Audra! But until she truly believes she’s beautiful inside, it won’t matter how hot and pretty they make the outside package. And Audra’s obsession with perfection may be leading her farther and farther away from what’s really important — and blinding her to the love that’s been waiting there all along . . .
