false <![CDATA[The Cinderella Pact]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170348236m/47683.jpg 47683 5 NOLA DEVLIN HAS A SECRET IDENTITY. By day she is an overweight, frumpy, and overlooked editor at Sass! (the "celebrity magazine with an edge!"), but by night she slips behind her keyboard and into her alter-ego: Belinda Apple. Belinda is thin, gorgeous, British and the author of a trendy advice column— she is, in effect, the latest Carrie Bradshaw. Not even her two best friends or her self-absorbed sister (who worships Belinda as the "sister she never had") know her secret. 46684 22 6 2006 The Cinderella Pact total:868|5:156|4:323|3:294|2:83|1:12| 868 3132 1320 222 4 1 false false Sun Mar 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Feb 03 12:38:19 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 22 12:47:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Aug 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 08:40:21 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 09:12:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Apr 24 17:10:56 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 17:28:45 -0700 2009
