****4 stars
Great read with a great moral. I zipped through this book quickly. I liked how Harbison flipped back and forth between past and future. It was a book of friendship, insecurities, and finding your true self and being happy with that.
Book Jacket Summary:
Twenty years ago, Holly and Nicola were the outsiders at summer camp. Holly, the plump one, was a dreamer who longed to be an artist. Nicola, the shy, plain one, wanted nothing more than to be beautiful. Their cabin nemesis was Lexi. Rich, spoiled, evil Lexi. One night, Holly and Nicola teamed up to pull one daring act of vengeance. But they never considered that this one act would have repercussions for decades. And they never realized the secret pain inside Lexi, and how their need for revenge cost Lexi more than they ever could have imagined.
Today Holly is a successful gallery owner who has put her own artistic dreams on hold. She still struggles with her weight and for approval from her overly critical boyfriend. Nicola is an almost-famous actress who believes that one little plastic surgery fix is just what she needs to put her over the edge into fame. And Lexi... Lexi is down on her luck and totally broke.
Holly will do anything got be thin. Lexi will do anything to be rich. And Nicola will do anything to be pretty. Thin Rich Pretty is the story of three women who believe that happiness is the next dress size down, the next dollar figure up, or the next appreciative glance from a stranger. But mostly it 's the story of how three women save one another and show one another the path to true contentment.
