B As In Beauty Is Like Ugly Betty Meets Pretty Women

Book Description:
Everyone in the world, it seems, is either prettier or thinner (or both) than Beauty Marie Zavala. And the only thing "B" resents more than her name is the way others judge her for the extra 40 pounds she can't lose. At least she has her career. Or did, until she overhears her boss criticizing her weight and devising a scheme to keep her from being promoted. Enter B's new tax accountant, a modern-day matchmaker determined to boost B's flagging self-esteem by introducing her to rich, successful men who will accept her for who she is. As B's confidence blossoms, so do her fantasies of revenge. But will B find true happiness or true disaster when she unwittingly falls for the one guy she shouldn't?

In A Nutshell: I love Beauty! She is witty and funny. A modern caterpillar turns into butterfly if the caterpillar ran into a tax preparer madam. I totally pictured America Ferrera as Beauty while I read B As in Beauty. The story was a great read and I totally recommend it. Beauty meets some interesting characters as she starts her after hours job. During the day she works for Bonnie the boss from hell. You know the kind, we have all had a Bonnie at one time in our career. I unfortunately had more than one. Bonnie takes all the credit and give no respect to Beauty who does all the work!

The book is a great insight into the mindset of corporate America and how our own self image projects to the world around us. How we feel about ourselves mirrors how the world treats us.

I loved Beauty's transformation as her confidence soared and B As In Beauty would make a great movie.

I also love that the book was written by a man. Kudos Alberto. Kudos to you!
