Belinda Apple, the alter ego she creates is a smashing success who is offered movie proposals, national television appearances, and even dates. Of course, no one's actually met her in person. Unfortunately, Nola takes Belinda a bit too far, jotting off a column about how easy it is to lose weight; a column her friends take seriously. Trapped by her own words, Nola is forced to join the "Cinderella Pact" and drop the pounds. As the weight comes off, however, Nola's problems begin to mount. Her magazine launches an investigation into Belinda Apple's true identity, her friends race ahead of her in the weight-loss game, and her younger sister chooses Belinda as her maid of honor. Plus, there's this mysterious hunk who might be Nola's prince or a rat in coachman's clothing. 500 $a Includes an excerpt from "The Sleeping Beauty proposal" by Sarah Strohmeyer. 650 0 $a Women periodical editors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Best friends $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Overweight women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Princeton (N.J.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20220401023416.0 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20160712011211.0 952 $l AHPD597 $d 20120316011322.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20110621010821.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=423E59A22B0F11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
