Have I mentioned my addiction to both chick lit and novels about librarians? And have I mentioned that most novels about librarians are especially bad? The Dewey Decimal System of Love is still probably the absolute worst, but A Little Change of Face by Lauren Baratz-Logsted is pretty bad, too. It's about a sexy-hot librarian chick who's convinced by her "default" best friend to ugly it up and wear shapeless dresses to see if men still notice her. She also changes her name, finds a new entry-level job in a library a town over (quickly and easily and without any references because she doesn't want them to know her real name?), and, of course, still finds Mr. Right. The author got some of the crazy all-day patrons down pat, but who the hell would trade an experienced librarian's salary for an entry-level one, let alone dress badly for the part? Sheesh.
