Just like Beauty is a brilliantly inventive debut novel that mixes adolescent angst and ethnical satire and is set in a disconcertingly not-so-distant future filled with high-tech food, mutant family pets, socially sanctioned assault, and despoliation of the planet. This surprising blend gives creator Lisa Lerner a brand new and funny way to explore family dynamics, gender roles, competitiveness, and the "beauty misconception" in a population that keeps reinventing them anew for each generation. A plague of mutant grasshoppers is invading American suburbia. An underground suicide cult is getting nationwide prominence. Gangs of teenage males with blow torches run amok. But what really has 14-year-old Edie Stein sidetracked from her town's gross annual Feminine Woman of Conscience Pageant is Lana Grimaldi, the alluring girl next door. How can a feminine girl of conscience offer with her? Just like Beauty offers a comically trenchant look at where our culture is heading and the absurdity that goes by for ordinary.
