Book Description

April 21 2011 Star Wars: Clone Wars (Dark Horse Comics Paperback)

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.

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 to be thin. Lexi will do anything to be rich. And Nicola will do anything to be pretty. But at what cost?  Hilarious, heartwarming, and full of truth, Thin, Rich, Pretty will strike a chord with any woman who has ever looked in the mirror, or at their bank statement, and said, “If only . . . ”

4.0 out of 5 stars Relatable and Enjoyable Dec 20 2011
By 0Clairebear0 TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This book has all the components of a great 'Chick-Lit' novel. The story centers around three women - two childhood friends and their childhood nemesis. The women are living very different lives in the present day. Holly is forever wishing to be thinner, Nicola is the almost-famous actress who wishes to be prettier and Lexi is the formally rich girl who has lost her fortune. All three are constantly working for that 'one thing' that would make them happier and fix all their problems in their lives. Holly needs to be thin, Nicola needs to be pretty and Lexi needs to be rich.
I found myself cheering for all three women, hoping that they would all succeed because I idenitifed with all three. There isn't a woman out there who wasn't wished for these things at some point in her life. It's easy to identify with all the characters. All three struggle to meet their expectations of themselves, all three have regrets about things they have done and all three hold themselves to an impossibly high standard that cannot be obtained. In short, all three are REAL women!
This is a great, fun and easy read. It's light-hearted and enjoyable and definitely a must-read if you love 'chick-lit'.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reading with Tequila July 7 2010
By Jennifer Sicurella - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Thin, Rich, Pretty volleys between summer camp twenty years ago and the present day. In the past, we see Holly picked on because of her weight, Nicola self-conscious of her large nose and Lexi being hateful to all those around her because of her mother's death and the introduction of her step-mother. In the present, we see Holly still concerned about her weight, Nicola still fretting about her nose and once rich Lexi left virtually penniless due to her father's will and her step-mother's cruelty.

I loved the portrayal of summer camp and the nastiness between the girls. It was like middle school or high school, 24 hours a day. The girls, assigned to the same bunk, were forced to spend time together despite their feelings towards one another. Holly and Nicola's friendship stemmed from their being picked on by Lexi and her friends, and managed to survive into adulthood.

Thin, Rich, Pretty was often predictable. Holly diets to win a man's approval. Nicola gets a nose job to get better acting jobs. Lexi, on her own without any income for the first time in her life, helps a man with his house to make ends meet. Things backfire, things change and some end up more miserable because of it. The women reunite and, of course, they all learn that what's on the inside matters in the end, with self-confidence and self-reliance being the major lessons learned.

A cute romance develops in Lexi's storyline, but it seemed inevitable as soon as the man was introduced. The story was entertaining and uplifting at times, but I felt like I knew almost exactly what was going to happen every step of the way. Thin, Rich, Pretty has a bit too much in common with most other women's fiction books. It's fun, but nothing really memorable stands out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Beth Harbison! Jan 25 2011
By Marz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I started the book recently. I had pre-ordered it. That is what I love about Amazon. Beth Harbison takes her readers back to a time when they were young, innocent and new without being over detailed or over dramatic. I loved her Shoe Addicts Anonymous. Thin, Rich and Pretty so far is a delight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Enjoyable Read Dec 7 2010
By JG - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I liked the relationship between the friends and found this a very easy read. It is of course chick-lit but that is why we love it so much. For that genre, it was a good read.
