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? 6391663 24 4 2009 B as in Beauty total:56|5:15|4:21|3:19|2:1|1:0| 56 218 108 26 5 0 false false Fri May 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 15:10:42 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 15:45:40 -0700 2009 As with some of the other reviews have said, I forgot the author was a guy because I could relate to her in so many ways (spot on with that whole corporate thing, by the way).
