Synopsis

She’s a fashion model who has everything: a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend. But when a sudden freeway "accident" leaves her disfigured and incapable of speech, she goes from being the beautiful center of attention to being an
invisible monster, so hideous that no one will acknowledge she exists. Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, one operation away from becoming a real woman, who will teach her that reinventing yourself means erasing your past and
making up something better. And that salvation hides in the last places you’ll ever want to look.

I have a theory about Chuck Palahniuk books. If somebody is starting to read Chuck Palahniuk for the first time...the first book they read of his will always be their favorite.
