Ladies, you remember your high school days...the flashy looking and the prettier or trendier girls often buddied up with plainer, sometimes brainier ones.  You always wondered if this meant that the hot girls were really cool, and unaware of the disparity in their friendships, or if they liked to be around girlfriends they wouldn't have to compete with.  Lisa Scott writes from the point of view of the plain girl.  This is smart since there are more plain girls than hot ones, so the writer apeals in this work to a larger audience.To further appeal, the plain girl, who hides her sense of inferiority behind cutting comebacks and witty repartee, catches the attention of the cute bartender.  In a plot twist used all too often in regency romance, the two strike up a bargain: She will prove to him men are too shallow to appreciate her hidden qualities, while he takes her among his friends to prove to her she's much hotter herself than she realizes.  These two pretend they're not all that into each other but end up being 'an item.'  The story ends on the supposition they will develop a relationship, marry and live happy and humorously ever after, trading quips. Not rocket science, but fun.
