I thought the book was okay. I expected it to be magical, glamorous, and ritzy but it's definitely more than that (of course). But when I think about it in a critical way, this almost feels like a dystopian. How would you feel if there are certain individuals who had the power to control beauty? Everyone wants to be beautiful of course but at what price? The main character wanted to be a favorite of those who had power over beauty but then realizes that everything is not what it seems (typical YA).
Beautiful descriptions, lush writing, uhm but I'm not so sure I like the concept of the story (in general). However, I liked the idea of this fictional New Orleans, it's definitely a breath of fresh air. Would recommend this to teens and those who want to venture into YA literature their first time.
