Being beautiful has both pros and cons.

Pros: 
1. You seem to have everything in this world, from the sales on goods you purchase to the man holding the door for you when you step out of a store. 
2. Your long time crush is having a crush on you and you can play the role of a hard-to-get chic.
3. You can wear red from top to toe when the trendy color is black but still you can become a fashion icon. 
4. Teachers seem to love you, especially male ones. 
5. Boys are all at your feet. They can be your slaves. 

Cons: 
Only one: Not every body loves external beauty, especially that oh-so-cute boy who works at the coffee shop you always come by every Saturday morning. 

Nobody knows better than Kayla when it comes to the price of beauty. She was ugly but not anymore. Now, she is the most beautiful and attractive girl at school, a modern-life princess with Burberry clothes, British attitudes and a mother who supports her to be the center of the cliqué. She seems to enjoy who she is as a beauty queen, even plan to compete for this year Miss USA until she meets a cute guy who seems to hate her and accuses her of being superficial and fake. Awkwardly, the more he despises her, the more she feels drawn to him. What will she do to get that boy's heart? Kayla is about to learn the most precious lesson in life: Being beautiful is wonderful but trading your true identity for beauty is something nobody should do, including her.
