**May contain spoilers**This story bills itself as a modern fairytale, but it's too ridiculous even for that.  Imagine that you're a fat (self-described), friendless, down on her luck 41 year old woman who hasn't had sex in 25 years and is the world's biggest fan of Brad Pitt.  Somehow, Brad Pitt fakes his own death to get away from Angelina Jolie.  Brad takes on a disguise and moves into the apartment next door to you.  In the course of time, you two fall in love while his identity is concealed.  You get a haircut and start wearing makeup and now everyone thinks you're gorgeous.  Brad eventually confesses the ruse and his love to you.  You two embark on sex marathons with each other, and you're able to satisfy his sex addiction despite being completely out of shape and out of practice, since you've not had sex in 25 years.  It's so cataclysmic that you get pregnant.  On Oscar night, Brad shows up, removes his disguise and excepts the award for best actor, explains why he faked his death, holds up a picture of you, tells the world he loves you and all the reasons why he loves you, and then proposes.  You marry and then live happily every after, I guess.I rolled my eyes so hard in this book. It was too ridiculous, and I just could not suspend disbelief.  I liked it better when "Brad" was in disguise, although even then his character was written as a virtuouso when it came to everything.  There were some editing errors, and in some cases, the hero was addressed by the wrong name.  This wasn't the worst book I ever read, and I did finish it.  However, my main impression is "you have got to be kidding me!"  Two stars for that, and I don't recommend it.
