The Next Best Thing - Jennifer Weiner

one sentence summary:
Can a disfigured female writer make it in Hollywood?

review:
An entertaining read that was well written and had mostly really strong plot points and characters. There were some unnecessary "twists" and some totally ridiculous plot points but all in all a good beach read.  I really liked the scenes from when the protagonist was young and in the hospital, her relationship with her grandmother was by far the strongest relationship in the book. There were other characters that were totally unnecessary and took away from the story rather than adding to it. The ending was a true fairy tale ending, happily ever after for everyone.

7/10
