About this listen

In this charming romantic comedy perfect for fans of Meg Cabot and Sophie Kinsella, critically acclaimed author Teri Wilson shows us that sometimes, being pushed out of your comfort zone leads you to the ultimate prize.

Charlotte Gorman loves her job as an elementary school librarian and is content to experience life through the pages of her books. That couldn’t be more opposite from her identical twin sister. Ginny, an Instagram-famous beauty-pageant contestant, has been chasing a crown since she was old enough to enunciate the words world peace, and she’s not giving up until she gets the title of Miss American Treasure. And Ginny’s refusing to do it alone this time.

She drags Charlotte to the pageant as a good luck charm, but the winning plan quickly goes awry when Ginny has a terrible, face-altering allergic reaction the night before the pageant, and Charlotte suddenly finds herself in a switcheroo the twins haven’t successfully pulled off in decades.

Woefully unprepared for the glittery world of hair extensions, false eyelashes, and push-up bras, Charlotte is mortified at every unstable step in her sky-high stilettos. But as she discovers there’s more to her fellow contestants than just wanting a sparkly crown, Charlotte realizes she has a whole new motivation for winning.

Sweet, Light, Entertaining Romcom

Throw “Miss Congeniality”, “Pride and Prejudice”, and “The Parent Trap” in a blender, season with a touch of “Legally Blonde” and this is the story you’ll end up with. I was looking for light fluff after several heavier non fiction reads, and this charming but predictable book delivered. It held my attention and made me laugh often. I even teared up a bit towards the end in spite of myself. The story is adorable. In true tradition of all novels based on a Pride and Prejudice theme, it helps to disarm the negative stigmas from all angles of the story. The narration sparkles - clear, bright and great timing in the delivery. I loved that the writer kept the material clean - I am often asked to recommend books that aren’t offensive, and they are few and far between. This is one I can endorse to just about anyone. Great fun summer read!

Cute story

Very cute and light story. I didn’t care for the readers though, it was way too slow. I had to speed it up a couple of notches and it still seemed a little slow. But I recommend if you are looking for a light read.

Had Potential

This book had great potential. The premise was cute and funny. The first half of the book was great. The evolution of the twins relationship was handled nicely. It started to lose me about 2/3 of the way in though, it became predictable and dull. The romance portion was kind of a joke, with a typical gratuitous sex episode. It stuck out like a sore thumb, it didn’t feel natural at all. And then, of course, there was the modern author shoving their political views into their writing. I don’t even disagree with her views, I just can’t stand when people politicize issues in their works of fiction. It wrapped up a little too cleanly. I feel like there should’ve been a more dramatic fallout with the pageant itself. So overall the books started well and then just sort of petered out. I wasn’t feeling much at all at the end of the book, it was OK

Cute book with a nice message

I liked it a lot. It was geek but not cringey like books like this tend to be. The story was very easy to get sucked into. I would definitely share this book with someone who needs an easy light reading. It was funny and I didn’t want to put it down.

Entertaining but oozing with cheese

The story is entertaining however the cheesy analogies and the over the top dramatic descriptions does make you Eye roll often!

delightful

What a great sister story with some sweet romance (hot hero) thrown into the glittery fun book loving mess. It's true....to really find ourselves, sometimes everything we know to be true has to be challenged. Even our self idenity. Very nice read

It was alright

It was sweet. But I think it was a little too long of a suspense drama for me. I liked the storyline. But over all an alright story. Narrator was really good! So that made the story a little easier to finish.
