Total Waste of Makeup

Since the popularity of "The Devil Wears Prada", books of the 20-something genre have come on full-steam. One of the best I've read lately was "A Total Waste of Makeup". Unfortunately, this is a book that has been completely overlooked, but is definitely guaranteed to keep you laughing.

The story finds the main character right before her 30 birthday, single and working as an assistant to a movie star. She has issues over her singlehood, and has had some torturous dates that never moved on to anything more. She also has a quite eccentric family, who's escapades create a lot of undue stress in her already hectic.

One of the best parts of this book is how the author so distinctly hits home how the character really feels about her situation in life. It's so humorous, but at the same time is so true to how so many young single girls feel after going on date after date that leads to noewhere. There are also times when this book has a deeper layer and really makes you think.

If you're a girl in your twenties to thirties, I guarantee there will be parts of this book that you can relate perfectly to. It will also make you think, smile, and at times laugh your head off. It's an easy and fast book to read, and is definitely hard to put down! Check it out!
