review: gorgeous by paul rudnick
Assalamualaikum and 안녕하세요!



Inner beauty wants out.

When eighteen-year-old Becky Randle’s mother dies, she’s summoned from her Missouri trailer park to meet Tom Kelly, the world’s top designer. He makes her an impossible offer: He’ll create three dresses to transform Becky from a nothing special girl into the most beautiful woman who ever lived.

Becky thinks Tom is a lunatic, or that he’s producing a hidden camera show called World’s Most Gullible Poor People. But she accepts, and she’s remade as Rebecca. When Becky looks in the mirror, she sees herself – an awkward mess of split ends and cankles. But when anyone else looks at Becky, they see pure five-alarm hotness.

Soon Rebecca is on the cover of Vogue, the new Hollywood darling, and dating celebrities. Then Becky meets Prince Gregory, heir to the British throne, and everything starts to crumble. Because Rebecca aside, Becky loves him. But to love her back, Gregory would have to look past the blinding Rebecca to see the real girl inside. And Becky knows there’s not enough magic in the world.

A screamingly defiant, hugely naughty, and impossibly fun free fall past the cat walks, the red carpets, and even the halls of Buckingham Palace, Gorgeous does the impossible: It makes you see yourself clearly for the first time.


REVIEW

okey, first thing first aku rasa teruja nak baca buku ni sebabkan ia ada menceritakan tentang fashion dan juga transformation untuk watak protagonist ni. lepas dalam 100 pages aku baca, aku tertarik gila nak tahu apa lagi jadi. okey, spoiler ahead. 

dalam buku ni ada seorang watak nama Jate Mallow, aku dah terbayang dia ni handsome apa semua mengikut apa yang penulis ni describe lah tentang wajah Jate Mallow ni, sekali lepas Becky dengan Jate ni jumpa (for the first time eh) dia cakap dia gay dekat Becky. aku pun macam, the hell? kau baru jumpa tapi dah cakap pasal diri dia gay? and Becky ni dia admire Jate dari kecil sebab Jate ni pelakon terkenal and biasalah lakonan dia pun luar biasa. 

and watak Becky ni memang totally out of question. kan ada mention Rebecca and Becky. dua nama ni adalah orang yang sama. but, personality and apa yang orang lain nampak pada dia berbeza. aku tak nak spoil kan cerita but it's kinda interesting waktu mula-mula aku kenal protagonist ni.

if you ask me watak mana aku paling minat, aku akan cakap Tom Kelly. Tom Kelly ni rupanya ayah kepada Becky. macam mana dia boleh jadi ayah kepada Becky? mak Becky ni rupanya seorang model kepada Tom juga. Tom dan mak Becky ni saling mencintai walaupun ada jarak lah antara umur diorang. but Tom ni tak adalah tua sangat. dalam buku ni ada cerita waktu Tom jumpa mak dia, mak dia dalam teenage age macam tu. yang Tom ni umur dalam dua puluhan aku rasa. bila Becky jumpa Tom, umur dia dalam tiga puluhan.

overall, aku suka cerita ni. unique and fantasy. and banyak humor. serius. tak rugi beli buku ni time ada stock clearance dekat aeon big. dah lama aku beli buku ni pun. beli 2018 baru baca tahun ni. heh.

aku pun tak sure aku bagi review ke aku ceritakan kisah buku ni. heheeeee

sekian, itu sahaja dari aku hari ni. hari lain, aku akan review satu lagi buku. ciao mi amore. assalamualaikum!
