Obtain Immediately Shes All That (Spa Girls, #1) Scripted By Kristin Billerbeck Shared As Electronic Format

is the first novel that I have ever read that I can relate to on so many levels, Lilly Jacobs is a character with a determined spirit in the face of constant disaster, Not only that, she is misunderstood because of how she holds onto seemingly impossible dreams, She chooses to not take the path of safety and learns how to follow the dream that God had placed in her.
I face that now. It's nice to read something that brings affirmation and encourages the dreamers to keep on going, Great job. . If more were available, I would it every single one of them, The main character is too unrealistic and fluffy, . . her inner thoughts are irritating! I wanted to like this book more, Good Christian literature for single girls, I wish this was less splenda and more sugar, : picked up this at a library sale and did not realize it was a book of three, Don't think I will continue, It was an okay telling story of three friends and the goings on in their lives, This was a funny book that had me laughing out loud in the break room at work, It's about a girl who had a master's degree from Stanford but refuses to use it, who has a speech impediment when it comes to talking to attractive men, and whose bad hair ruined her life.
Against her Grandmother's constant nagging for her to grow up and find a real job, she listens to her heart and follows her gut.
While she may seem like she has no confidence on the surface, when you read further into the book and really start to develop a relationship with her, you realize that she has unbelievable confidence! She doesn't back down when other people tell her that she is wasting her time on fashion.
She knows she is good at what she does and isn't afraid to say it, She pushes herself to do her best and doesn't accept anything less, I love books that are told in the first person because it feels like they are telling their story to you.
And I think you develop a better relationship with the main character when they tell the story, This book is the first in a series of the "Spa Girls Collection", Basically, it's these three friends whose problems can all be solved if not, minimized by going for a "Spa Weekend", I think each book will be about a different girl, I can't wait for the next one to come out!
recommended I love books featuring women supporting and encouraging other women, and this book is all that.
It's refreshing to see characters who are much like I feel most of the timelike I don't have it all togetherinstead of characters who are so perfect they make me feel inferior.
Each of the spa girls has issues, but they are able to lean on each other, depend on each other, and be brutally honest with each other when necessary.
And what issues can't be overcome with God and a spa day with your girls

Of course, there are always a few romantic prospects hovering around, and it's anybody's guess who will be a keeper and who should be kicked to the curb.


Kristin's books always lighten my day, bring a smile to my face, and make me look forward to the next one! FREE on Kindle today May,!

ad I picked this up because I'd read a book of Kristin Billerbeck's before sitelinkWhat a Girl Wants the first in the Ashley Stockingdale series, and I'd quite enjoyed it.
This one, however, seemed much more frivolous the main character kept harping on about how her hair was ruining her life, and I didn't get her obsession with Lysol! I'm not sure that I would bother to continue with this series.
I finally got the reading bug not to mention time to actually READ one from watching a good friend pick up a book and literally devour it in mere days! Knowing this is also MY behavior with a good read I was cautious and careful about my choice.
I wanted something that would both take me away from my daytoday thought processes, but also stir within me some true purpose, hope, love, and life.
. . I landed on my favorite author, in a series I've yet to dive into,

Needless to say I'm SOLD, and now desperately in search of the second book in the series eBay, and amazon used, here I come! Shes All That is the first book of the Spa Girls series by Kristin Billerbeck.


Lilly Jacobs is trying to make it big into fashion, She works for Sara Lang, a wellknown fashion designer, and gets passed up for promotion, As if thats not bad enough, she sees her boyfriend with someone else, Lilly also has to worry about her larger than life hair, She often meets up with her friends, Morgan and Poppy, at Spa Del Mar, Nana has taken care of Lilly because her mother ran off after her father died, Lilly is constantly nagged by Nana to put her finance degree from Stanford University to use, Lilly promises Nana that if fashion isnt working in six months, she will work

in finances, She finds herself liking three different men,

I liked this book, but I didnt like it as much as I thought I would, I liked the concept of the book, but I felt that liking three different men took away from the building off a relationship or at least chemistry in the book.

This was a good Christian book and easy read and I enjoyed her humor, I do have an issue with Nate kissing her and not really have any feelings there!! what that about She denied her feelings as the book was going it being Christian based it wasn't.
gonna go anywhere. I found the whole thing with Nate useless and she should have just left it them as friends and just kept Max and the british creep.
Another critique is that I found the book a bit choppy, Overall I enjoyed. and recommend it to any good Christian, She's All That isn't all that, It wants to be chicklit and Christian romance at the same time, but it doesn't mesh well, Instead the earnestness is jarring when it hits against the shallowness, It is weird, and disconcerting, and as awkward as a skinny middleschool girl with frizzy bad hair,

With her two best friends, Lilly Jacob is contemplating life, love, and the pursuit of the perfect pedicure,

When Lilly Jacob's coveted promotion as a fashion designer is given to a lesstalented coworker and her boyfriend develops issues with monogamy, she's convinced her bad hair day is responsible for it all.
Will a Spa Weekend with her Spa Girls help Or will it take more desperate measures Lilly Jacobs has sacrificed her Stanford Masters degree in finance to try and break into the world of fashion design.
She and her two unlikely best friends from college have a spa date tradition when ever one of them has had an upheaval in her life.
Lilly loses her job and decides to make it on her own by opening up her own design company,

I had a really hard time getting into this book, I felt like I was interrupted every two sentences.
But also it took a long time to get into the plot, the reader is never sure who the love interest is, and the main character is somewhat narcissistic.
Apparantly this is the first book in a series, Not sure if I'll check the next one out, I love this series because it is the perfect wholesome chickflickesc read when I need a pick me up, Its an inspirational and uplifting series that reminds me to be grateful for the blessing of my amazing friends, This is the perfect read when you need to focus on what is important in life or are searching for hope.
This was some very light summer reading amp it was okay, but definitely not up to what I was expecting,
I felt the book was unrealistic, The main character was selfcentered amp has NO discernment about anyone in her life, . . not only with men, but not even knowing her own "best friend" at all, Her OCD about her hair amp her lysol were irritating by theth time she mentioned them, let alone theth.
And the whole deal with the fashion show, . . like that would happen in a week amp a half! PLEASE!
To top it all off, the Christian aspect of it was barely visible amp did not integrate into the storyline at all.
It's like the author wrote the story, then added a smattering of Christianity here or there to make it work, Very vapid.
I only give itbecause I was entertained, Not because I truly liked it or was impressed, . . obviously. I wish I could give thisratings,

I didn't really start to enjoy reading this book until I made up my mind to read the book for what it is: a light, funny read that while it may be fraught with inconsistencies and odd character traits and choices, is still a clean and uplifting read with a great emphasis on friendship.


I would highly recommend this for young adults as an excellent alternative to other books out there that tend to include a lot of sex and profanity.
First person writing can be such a challenge, It requires using only one view point for the entire story and relying on dialogue to uncover other characters' view points.
Yet, Kristen did an excellent job, The story line, even though told from only one of the Spa Girl's perspectives, we get a good picture of her two closest friendstheir personalities, their fears, their hurts.
I can't wait to read the second and third books,

The story itself was entertaining and full of different twists and turns, some of which were entirely unexpected, Kristen's writing style stayed true to the main character, I found myself hoping along with the main character for success in her career, understanding her Nana better, and finally finding the right guy for her.
I felt her ups and downs, her fears and joys,
Despite some of the tough situations the main character faces, overall the book maintained a lighthearted feeling, And some of the situations were very tough, But, despite momentary set backs or disappointments, the reader is not left in a sad or difficult place too long,

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, Excruciating to read Lilly Jacobs isn't following the career path her Nana wishes for her, Although Lilly has an MBA in finance from Stanford, her heart's desire is to be a fashion designer even if it means existing well below the standard of living she could be achieving with a finance job.


Nana can't see why Lilly would throw away a perfectly good degree for what she considers a pipe dream.
And Lilly blames most of the misfortune in her life from missing out on a promotion at her design job to the breakup with her current boyfriend on her hair.
Yes, her hair. Lilly has grown up with a Qtip head of hair that has made her the brunt of many jokes, When all seems bleak, Lilly calls a meeting of the Spa Girls, Lilly, Dr. Poppy Clayton and heiress Morgan Maillard live completely different lives, but when they get together at the spa, their differences give way to their status as best friends.
They use their spa weekends as times to destress, talk things out, and keep focused on what truly matters, Does Lilly really have a future in fashion Is there a guy who will accept her, crazy hair and all

This is the first book in the Spa Girls Collection.
Lilly is quite insecure, which is a puzzling fit with her dogged determination to make it in fashion design, no matter what.
She pursues the career past the point where most people would have given up and taken the higher paying job in finance.
Although Lilly admits to being a Christian and this is considered an inspirational novel, neither she nor her friends spend much time praying and seeking God's direction for their decisions.
And though the romantic storyline in the novel takes a back seat to career struggles, Lilly's love life provides a great deal of comic levity.
Even though she thinks her hair a detriment to attracting men, at one point Lilly has three potential suitors, The result of some of the relationships is hilarious and readers will want to see who if anyone Lilly ends up with.


As light romance, this is a wholesome, enjoyable read, And if you're tired of romance that features sleeping around, this is a superb choice, Kristin Billerbeck is making a name for herself in Christian chick lit, and She's All That is a sweet start to a series that should tie together more cohesively once we get the perspectives of the other spa girls.
