A Total Waste of Makeup
by Kim Gruenenfelder
Charlize "Charlie" Edwards certainly knows, in theory, what it takes to lead a successful and happy life. She owns a nice house in Silverlake, LA's trendiest neighborhood. She has glamorous and loyal friends who accompany her to the hottest clubs in town. And she works as the personal assistant to Drew Stanton, Hollywood's sexiest movie star. But she's also turning 30, chronically single, and faced with serving as maid of honor at her younger sister's wedding. Charlie finds herself struggling to juggle the chaos of wedding planning (while wondering if she'll ever wear the white dress herself), her all-consuming job for lunatic boss Stanton, and a serious crush on Jordan, a photographer on the set of Drew's latest feature--a man who might actually return her feelings. A page-turner from start to finish, A Total Waste of Makeup puts a fresh face on women's fiction.

The Sleeping Beauty Proposal
by Sarah Strohmeyer
When Genie's "commitment-phobic" boyfriend proposes on national TV--not to Genie, but to a mystery woman--her friend Patty doesn't hesitate to give her some tough love: "You remind me of Sleeping Beauty, lying around waiting for your prince. Well, guess what, he rode right past your castle and now you have a choice--either go back to bed or wake up!" Genie chooses to wake up. Her first step is to allow everyone to believe she's Hugh's real fiancée. In a heartbeat, her parents are booking a reception hall while friends are showering her with gifts. Genie feels bad about the deception, but soon she realizes that she never needed a man to start her life--to buy a home or get a better job. And if Prince Charming wants to show up while she's at it, she just might teach him a thing or two.--From publisher description.

Bright Lights, Big Ass
by Jen Lancaster
Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos. But lucky for us, Lancaster knows how to make the life of the lower crust mercilessly funny and infinitely entertaining. Whether she's reporting rude neighbors to Homeland Security, harboring a crush on her grocery store clerk, or fighting-and losing-the Battle of the Stairmaster- Lancaster explores how silly, strange, and not-so-fabulous real city living can be. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss her big, fat, pink, puffy down parka.
