Makeover

Összefoglaló

Lianne has money in mind as she convinces her friend Sarah to start a makeover party business. Ruth has just come to town to live with her dad and starts classes at their school. Although Ruth's style is very trendy in London, where she lived with her mom, Sarah and Lianne think Ruth's terribly unfashionable and decide to take her on as a project. Ruth has enough problems dealing with her divorced dad's live-in girlfriend and her two children, her mom's anorexia, and missing her best friend from London, Emily. What's more, she liked who she was in London and doesn't want to be made over. Narrator Gillian Walton has a very distinctive voice for Ruth, which is echoed somewhat in her London friend Emily. Lianne and Sarah, however, are practically interchangeable and difficult to distinguish except from context: Sarah has no backbone and Lianne is a controlling manipulator. There are some important themes here, especially being true to yourself...
