Why read it?

Nugent skillfully raises my hopes, only to crush them again. Although Delia is self-aware, she just can’t seem to change. Her one redeeming feature is her beauty—yet beauty only goes so far. Read the book to discover if she ultimately redeems herself. Her fate at the end is both surprising and unique.
