I'll be honest: When I first heard about Gorgeous, I was quite skeptical about the chances that I'd actually like it. I mean -- magical dresses? The fashion world? Um, no. 
 Fortunately, I decided to check it out anyway, and to see for myself what all the buzz was about. And I'm happy that I did. Gorgeous is a modern-day fairy tale about inner beauty, the traps that fame can bring, and finding out who you are and what you want. It's sweet and funny all at the same time, and never drags for a second. 
 Highly recommended, for teens and adults. See my full review at http://bookshelffantasies.com/2013/07....
