I found this book on the recommended "Chick Lit" summer reading shelf at my local library. The cover and the title completely caught my eye and I thought, this is going to be a funny romance book I can just tell, and I was not disappointed.
Grace is writing her thesis in women's studies and truly believes the theory behind it, that outer beauty ultimately leads the woman to unhappiness and misery in her life. Grace is ready to prove it.
Great-Aunt Sophia has requested that Grace spend the summer with her to assist her in recovery/be her companion. When she arrives, she meets two men, on opposite sides of the spectrum. Declan is sex personified. He just oozed sex appeal and confidence. Dr Andrew on the other hand was smart, and handsome, though incredibly socially awkward. Grace is slightly overweight, and does not see herself in any way shape or form as a 'bombshell' Little does she know that Great-Aunt Sophia has big plans for her! She agrees to Sophia's 'bombshell lessons' all the while determined to use the experience to prove her thesis.
This novel is a fun breezy summer romance read. Watching Grace's transformation, and her squirming from the attentions of the manipulative Declan was very entertaining! Though there is no one more manipulative in this novel than Great-Aunt Sophia. Lots of laugh out loud moments and some surprises along the way.
