  <description><![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Charlize &quot;Charlie&quot; Edwards certainly knows, in theory, what it takes to lead a successful and happy life. She owns a nice house in Silverlake, LA's trendiest neighborhood. She has glamorous and loyal friends who accompany her to the hottest clubs in town. And she works as the personal assistant to Drew Stanton, Hollywood's sexiest movie star. But she's also turning 30, chronically single, and faced with serving as maid of honor at her younger sister's wedding. Charlie finds herself struggling to juggle the chaos of wedding planning (while wondering if she'll ever wear the white dress herself), her all-consuming job for lunatic boss Stanton, and a serious crush on Jordan, a photographer on the set of Drew's latest feature--a man who might actually return her feelings. A page-turner from start to finish, <em>A Total Waste of Makeup</em> puts a fresh face on women's fiction.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[A quick read... cute fictional story with lots of advice on dating and life in general.  Most are cliche.  My favorite quote: &quot;Don't be jealous of anyone.  I guarantee you, if everyone walked into a room, and dumped their problems onto the floor, when they saw what everyone else's problems were...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36994071">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Charlize &quot;Charlie&quot; Edwards certainly knows, in theory, what it takes to lead a successful and happy life. She owns a nice house in Silverlake, LA's trendiest neighborhood. She has glamorous and loyal friends who accompany her to the hottest clubs in town. And she works as the personal assistant to Drew Stanton, Hollywood's sexiest movie star. But she's also turning 30, chronically single, and faced with serving as maid of honor at her younger sister's wedding. Charlie finds herself struggling to juggle the chaos of wedding planning (while wondering if she'll ever wear the white dress herself), her all-consuming job for lunatic boss Stanton, and a serious crush on Jordan, a photographer on the set of Drew's latest feature--a man who might actually return her feelings. A page-turner from start to finish, <em>A Total Waste of Makeup</em> puts a fresh face on women's fiction.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Charlize &quot;Charlie&quot; Edwards certainly knows, in theory, what it takes to lead a successful and happy life. She owns a nice house in Silverlake, LA's trendiest neighborhood. She has glamorous and loyal friends who accompany her to the hottest clubs in town. And she works as the personal assistant to Drew Stanton, Hollywood's sexiest movie star. But she's also turning 30, chronically single, and faced with serving as maid of honor at her younger sister's wedding. Charlie finds herself struggling to juggle the chaos of wedding planning (while wondering if she'll ever wear the white dress herself), her all-consuming job for lunatic boss Stanton, and a serious crush on Jordan, a photographer on the set of Drew's latest feature--a man who might actually return her feelings. A page-turner from start to finish, <em>A Total Waste of Makeup</em> puts a fresh face on women's fiction.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
