oi all. I have a great book -- definitely in the “Ugly Betty” mode -- to recommend. It’s called “The Flawless Skin of Ugly People” (by a guy named Doug Crandell) and it’s fabulous. It’s about the relationship between a misfit of a guy with really bad acne and his extremely overweight girlfriend. Think Jenny Craig ad crossed with ProActiv infomercial, and you’ll get the idea. The best thing, though, is that this is a real amor story, really romantic. And a really comforting read for anybody (like me) tired of all the perfect heroes and heroines in these kind of books. It’s out this week (and in paperback, which is good), and definitely worth buying.
