Produktinformationen zu „B As In Beauty “
Die Geschichte von Beauty Maria Zavala, einer jungen New Yorkerin, die ihrem Fulltime Job nicht entkommen kann, genauso wenig wie ihren vierzig überflüssigen Pfunden.
Klappentext zu „B As In Beauty “
Beauty Maria Zavala resents her name, along with the 40 extra pounds she cannot get rid of and simply goes by "B". B hates her size and worse, hates that others judge her because of it. When she overhears her boss criticize her weight and develop a scheme to keep her from being promoted, B feels doomed but things start to look up when B's new tax accountant turns out to be a modern-day fairy Godmother.B's Godmother can't help her lose weight or get promoted, but she can (and does) set B up on dates with rich, successful men. B's dates allow her to feel beautiful and desirable, and so B's journey of self acceptance begins; she finally begins to see herself differently and embrace the body that she's cursed for so many years.
With her same ol' curves and a new attitude, B can't help but want to teach her boss--and everyone who has tried to keep her down--a lesson. But does newly confident B seek revenge on her two-faced boss? And what happens when B meets the one guy that she shouldn't fall for? Will B find true love or true disaster?

Rezension zu „B As In Beauty “
"Move over, Ugly Betty; Fat B's in town and she's just as bewitching, bodacious and beautiful as the unconventional Latina TV star. In Ferreras's dazzling debut, Cuban-American Beauty Maria Zavala-"B" to her friends-bounces off the page like a firecracker while she discovers how to embrace her curves under the tutelage of a wise madam. At the outset, B's not just ashamed of her chubby bod, but finds it standing in the way of a promotion at her Manhattan ad agency-thanks to a bitchy boss-and she hasn't been laid in ages. B's best friend and co-worker, petite Lillian, tells B to "reinvent" herself. Natasha Sokolov, her Russian-American tax preparer, goes a step further by offering her a moonlighting position "comforting" men with a fetish for voluptuous women-men who will pay "to worship a body like yours." B accepts the proposition (selling time but not sex), only to find once again the sting of rejection: her first client rejects her for being too lightweight. It's just one of many ill
