This is an extremely fast-paced, wittingly funny and enjoyable book.
The story is about Rebecca Fine; a young and unnoticed beauty columnist for the Daily Vanguard fashion and beauty magazine.
She secretly yearns to be a investigative reporter and finally had her chance when an ex-employee of Mer de Revres (a famous cosmetic producer), Wendy sought her help to expose a secret ingredient in their latest product in the market; a pot of antiwrinkle cream which may pose a threat to the health of the women out there.
Initially skeptical, Rebecca soon saw this as an opportunity when she is again and again disappointed in her sort-of boyfriend Max Stoddart whom she accused him of two-timing her with another gorgeous reporter, Lorna Findlay.
Rebecca soon found herself flying to Paris with her soon-to-be stepmother; who ironically was her high-school classmate who bullied her during those days.
Since her father had taken so long to find the one he loved since her mother's death, she left it at that and unregrettably after she spent time with Bernadette; nicknamed Lipstick.
Their mission to uncover the biggest scandal in the beauty world turned out to involve also political struggle and Rebecca soon finds herself trying desperately to talk to the Prime Minister of England; Tony Blair to warn him of these potential threats which could cause war between England and Nigeria.
I will not spoil the rest of the story for others but suffice to say, it was hilarious as you read the crazy thoughts and antics of Rebecca as she struggles to gain position in the magazine, and trying to prove her capability; then accepting her father's will to marry a girl her age (her classmate even who was not even her best friend in high school), her crazy best friend who had problems with her own husband's sexual incompetence, her on-and-off struggle in a relationship with a suave and handsome Max, and at the same time stay SANE.
I liked the story and of course, the cover of the book which is so PINK!
Definitely recommended chic book; to read and to laugh and cry with the girls!
