I actually purchased this book for my sister, but ended up reading it myself and having some really great discussions with her about it.  It is a very well written book that offers a unique combination of confidence building advice as well as practical tips to undergo a transformation of your look - and (perhaps more importantly) the way that you feel about your look.  It really does an excellent job of building up the reader's self esteem which is really critical for many women in their forties and is very honest and direct about the realities of both the age and the body.  The realities of the book are what make it so successful - it does not pander to its audience or blow smoke.  Instead it gives direct and honest advice and makes it easy to implement the tenets that it lays out.  One of the best things that the book did for my sister was give her confidence to dress up for special events and special occasions.  She has a really hard time every year during the holidays and often passes on invitations to fancy events because she never knows what to wear.  The specific information about dressing up - from shoes to outfit to makeup - really has helped her select some outfits to wear throughout the upcoming holiday season.  I would recommend this book to anyone looking for practical information to undergo a transformation and build confidence (through new information that will make you look better - and hence, feel better about how you look) or to a family member or partner who wants to be supportive during their loved ones transformation.
