Ashlyn was born with a flawless face, one she has grown to hate.  Being beautiful is not a blessing to her but a curse! Girls at school hate her and bully her constantly.  Boys seem to care about her boobs more that her brain. More importantly her mom thinks that looks is all there is to Ashlyn. Only Zeus seems to be immune to it all.While this story does have some paranormal aspects to it, it really doesn't focus on that.  It is a great read, especially for young girls.  So much pressure is put on them to be perfect.  This book shows that things that look perfect can often be more flawed than we ever realize.  I think my favorite character was Star, Zeus's mom. There is something to be said for being able to be a free spirit and able to walk your own path regardless of what society decides is "right".I don't know how this author did it, but she seemed to blend a mix of current teen issues with a great teen mystery/love story.  The plot is amazing. The characters are great and provoke emotion.  Some your love, some you really hate by the end of the novel.  There are some great underlying messages here that will reach teens in a major way.  Editing is very well done. I highly recommend this book, especially to girls. It is a fast paced great read that leaves several memorable messages.  I would love to read more from this author in the future.
