Where Beauty Lies (beneath the glitter sequel)

Post by doodlegirl09 »



What do you guys think?
This is just cheap looking. This is worst than the first cover.

I really get the feeling that the books are Elles' project and Blairs name is put on there just bc they're sisters. Something about the cover is weird tho. The reflection of the couch is odd and the shopping bags etc don't look right. I could see this being the kind of book I'd read at the beach or something. Kind of like a Candace Bushnell style book (SATC and Lipstick Jungle). ^ p.s I :love2: the Little Prince! It's in my nightstand right now :toad:

OMG, such bad artwork!
In the reflection it looks as if the couch would be flying!

Yeah, great job...NOT! :D

I don't understand why the title isn't capitalized? Is that like their thing? Because I guess their signature "elle&blair" isn't capitalized either.

Euchhh, yeah I completely agree! I saw her tweet that today and thought it was really badly done. It looks very... 2D. Like unsubstantial, cartoon-y. Does anybody else know what I mean by that? As in, there's no weight or depth to the illustration. I'm sure they'll touch it up a tad before it starts getting bound, but oh my goodness, why wouldn't they create a better cover? Can't these girls see??!!

the orange is so distracting and ugly compared to the pretty purple, pretty shaped dress, pretty glittery walpaper and the shoes. orange again, just doenst fit. they are trying to be edging or modern or something by throwing in an unexpected color, but yuck!

Looks like they wanted to have a Hermes shopping bag in there. That is the color that they use for their packaging.

^ Yeah, they're shopping bags from designers. Just in case we forgot how wealthy the "characters" are :roll:

The cover is awful :/ I am curious as to what the storyline is going to be about though, since the first one was already rather bland and cliche (from what I've heard and the snippets read from Blair's videos).

I guess it meant the first book sold well if they're considering a sequel already.

Actually they were 'writing' it even before the first one was released.

it'll be another ghostwritten mess that'll be released to coincide with another skylark collection to bump up the sales of either the book or the over priced lip gloss.

What the eff does "a beneath the glitter novel" mean? That doesn't make any sense. Could be BTG 2 or The sequel to BTG.. but not that.

Do you guys think it'll be like some sort of trilogy series? Or are they going to keep releasing novels for the series to boost the sales of every other skylark product they release? :/

Originally it was supposed to be a stand alone book, then they decided to turn it into the first of a series, How many are going to be released I have no idea.

well it has "lies" in the title, which is about just as fitting is having "live" tattooed on your forearm where in the mirror it spells "evil."
