Synopsis

After a devastating car accident shatters her face and her former life, fashion model Charlotte Swenson returns to Manhattan, unrecognizable to her peers. She navigates a world where image and reality blur, while in her hometown, a plain-looking teenager also named Charlotte falls under the influence of two enigmatic men. As their stories converge, the novel satirizes America's image culture and questions the meaning of truth and identity in a society obsessed with surfaces.
