A fierce, feisty, and “compulsively delicious” (Redbook) debut with a magical twist about three ordinary, regular young women who suddenly have their fantasies come true…or do they?
Best friends Evie, Krista, and Willow are just trying to make it through their mid-twenties in New York. With average looks and typical quarter-life crises, they’re trying to make it up the corporate ladder, make sense of online dating, and make rent.
Until they come across Pretty, a magic tincture that makes them, well...gorgeous. Like, supermodel gorgeous. And it’s certainly not their fault if the sudden gift of beauty causes unexpected doors to open for them.
But there’s a dark side to Pretty, too, and as the gloss fades for these modern-day Cinderellas, there’s just one question left:
What would you sacrifice to be Pretty?
Wildly irreverent, blatantly sexy, and observed with pitch-perfect wit, The Regulars is a fresh, “twisted, modern-day take on Cinderella.” (InStyle), perfect for fans of Jennifer Close and Kevin Kwan.

Light-hearted read. Interesting consept about suddenly becoming beautiful and the consequences.
The characters in the book are completely unlikeable (and not in a "well constructed villain that I want to root against" or a "sympathetic bad guy with a complicated past" sort of unlikeable). They are so pathetic that I found myself not wanting to waste my time reading about what happens to them. I was very disappointed as the book has a good premise. It just needs protagonists that I care about.
It was a book for 20 ish young women. I grew impatient with the characters. Good theme, though. I am an older woman reading the book.
I'd describe this book as gritty, edgy chick lit. It is not for the faint of heart, with a plethora of cursing and sex. I enjoyed it immensely, mostly because I never knew what to expect or what craziness would happen next. The author really pushed the envelope. It was like she took the craziest thing she could think of and pushed it further throughout the entire novel. I didn't always like the characters, in fact, I shouted at them (in my head) often (especially Willow), but I liked the lessons they learned. If offered to take Pretty myself....I honestly don't know what I'd do...
Meh....I bought this book because a blogger I follow highly recommended it but I couldn't get past the first 1/4 of the book. It was just slow moving for me.
