Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML: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. Which 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.

Cute light sorta geeky read ( )

A little predictable but fun! ( )

Public school librarian Charlotte Gorman is in Orlando to share a hotel room with her twin sister, Ginny, to cheer Ginny on in her latest beauty pageant but mostly for a vacation for herself. But when Ginny has an allergic reaction and is too swollen to compete she convinces Charlotte to pretend to be her for the preliminary stages of the Miss American Treasure pageant. Charlotte has never understood the appeal of pageants but as she steps into Ginny's (very high heeled) shoes, she discovers a kind community of women plus a spark with one irresistibly charming man.

A pretty cute novel that strides the line between romance and general fiction. I enjoyed all of Charlotte's nerdy book references (particularly heavy on the Austen and Harry Potter) and there's some charm in the swapping places, which appeals to this long-time fan of The Parent Trap. That said, all of the lying required eventually started to wear me down and it felt less fun and more stressful. That said, the ending is very sweet and while the ending is a little optimistic it is a happy one. If it strikes your fancy, try it. ( )

This was almost a solid this-is-fine three stars but I just simply could not get over the major personal conflict. One has to be really effing dumb to think that he can marry a twin and swap her out for her sister later. That just makes zero sense. It only makes sense if you're a clueless idiot. Dating, yes I would get, but marrying? Nope. Don't buy it. You've got to be a real idiot. And would Charlotte date someone that stupid? Nope. She's obviously into intellectuals. Also, they fall so deeply in love that Gray drops out of judging? It's been like a week. Come on. And since that was such a huge part of the conflict and the dynamics, I couldn't get over it. Other than that though, this was cute and frothy. ( )

A fun read about a topic I hadn't really thought about. It's great that at the end I had come to the similar realization as the main character. Charlotte, that the beauty pageant scene is not vacuous and backstabbing but could be something uplifting. ( )
