Barbie's mother was once a model but instead she married a psychiatrist and had Barbie. Now she wants the best for her daughter: Money, fame, and beauty. She forces her daughter into modeling and her father, disenchanted with his pushy wife, leaves. When Barbie is hurt by a photographer, her mother ignores her and she is left with nobody to rely on. That's when she starts seeing Mab.
Mab is a fairy and the question really is: Is she real or something inside of Barbie? Sometimes it feels like Mab must be real. She does such outrageous things but she also seems to be the part of Barbie that is constantly hidden away. Mab says the things that Barbie doesn't dare to say to her mother. Together, these two become teenagers and go on adventures into the city together. They meet biscuits and bitter rivals and bring down the man who hurt Barbie.
I liked this book. It's a cute, fast read.
