Makeover

By Shannon Guymon

Men and luck don't mix for Sophie Reid.

Ten years ago her father abandoned her and her mother for a younger, richer woman. The majority of boys her age ignore her. And now her boyfriend - the missionary she waited faithfully for over the last two years -- dumped her at the airport for a beautiful brunette he met in the mission field. Hurt and humiliated, Sophie vows to get even with Blake and get over him - fast.

Desperate for a full-scale makeover, Sophie is determined to shake off the girl she was and become the woman she wants to be. Standing up to her incredibly snobby relatives and getting back into the dating game proves to be easier than she thought, but can she trust the men she dates? Paul seems nice, but Sophie suspects he might be in love with another girl, and she's not about to put up with that again. Sam makes her heart flutter, but what about his psychotic ex-girlfriend - is Sophie in any danger? And to top it off, it appears that Blake may still love her. But will she allow herself to trust him again?

With the help of her best friend, Jacie, and her mother, Candy, Sophie comes to realize that the most important kind of makeover has more to do with love and forgiveness than with scissors and highlights.

Engaging characters and a quick, light read

Shannon Guymon excels at making her main characters people you wish you knew in real life. Sophie and Sam are a couple you want to see succeed from the moment they lay eyes on each other. Shannon gives great ideas, themes and images but centers too much emotion on the words a lot of the time. Sometimes it would nice to just let her characters say nothing. Or at least a lot less. If you want a happy, clean and quick read for the summer, this is your bet. There is plenty to nit-pick (dialouge, situations, over-the-top dramatics, characters who fall in and out of love impossibly fast and an ending that wraps up entirely too quickly and perfectly, leaving you feeling like you just got shut out of the party -- all Guymon signitures it seems) but if you take it for what it is: light, fast fiction, it's easier to see past the faults and enjoy. One of the better LDS chick-lits out there.
