(4) YA Friedman rehashes the dork-morphs-into-hottie formula. And like clockwork, her protagonist, seventeen-year-old Reed Walton, finds he's not exactly comfortable with his new stud-muffin status, which surprises the popular brother-sister twins who initiated the get-Reed-a-girlfriend scheme. At times the story's humor feels forced, but Reed's misgivings ring true and lead to the book's highlight: poignant musings about looks, rejection, and dating.
