America,” she is stunned by how amazing she looks in their photo.
At sixteen, Dulce feels the pressure to stay youthful in Hollywood. When Dulce’s
prop Book of Shadows gets destroyed, she substitutes her favorite Victorian
Anthology, opened to Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, and says her spell
during the shoot over the anthology. Afterwards, in her trailer, she discovers
that she has transformed into her Teen Vogue picture, and her real body is
completely airbrushed. Can she break the curse or will she remain locked
forever in a picture?

Wow this is creeptastic! I love it!
ReplyDelete"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is one of my favorite books, so the title of this novel immediately caught my attention. The cover is really beautiful, too, with that South American vibe to it.
