I LOVED the Teddy Bear series so when I came across another title by Mimi Strong I was super excited!From what I've read from the author I like that her stories are real, and the heroines haven't been your typical perfect Barbie looking girls with perfect skin, perfect hair, perfect eyes, but both extremes can be equally bad. I felt like I was reading a story about a really big nose, the first few mentions about how she hated her nose were a little weird but I carried on because I wanted to see where this thing with "Eddie" lead to. I was SO relieved after she finally got a nose job because she would finally stop talking about the nose but no such luck, then it was about how cute her nose was. I wish I could say something else about the book but the focus on the damn nose was so much that apparently it has taken over my review as well!I love Mimi's stories and I look forward to reading more from her but this one was a definite flop! Author: Tony J. WinnPublished By: T.W.Age Recommended: AdultReviewed By: Arlena DeanBook Blog For: GMTARating: 4Review:"Pretty Girls Don't Cry" by Tony J. Winn was a sweet women's-chit lit fiction type of novel ..in that it was mainly of Nora's life...good or bad,choices friends...and family(who she stilled lived with). Was this a good read? I found it interesting in that the heroine has a prosthetic foot and for some reason that intrigued me to wonder how this author would put this novel together...in that seeing how 'Nora dealt with her disability and in trying to fine true love. 'Nora's leg had to be amputated due to a accident with her boyfriend Aaron' then on to Bobby, Rex and a few other interesting guys... working for her uncle Don ...at the radio station in Eugene and then finally her move on to Portland. Where will this novel take us?...well, this is where I say you must pick up "Pretty Girls Don't Cry" to see how this author brings us this good read of Nora's life. There is more... we learn about Nora's nose job, and is she really getting back involved with Aaron? As I said, pick up this read. All of the characters were well developed helping present a good read. You will find "Pretty Girls Don't Cry" was a very good read in how this young woman learns to love herself and most of all being happy with just she was. Would I recommend this read?.....YES!
