“An urban Cinderella story, in which 16-year-old Carlos longs for a boyfriend and a career as a makeup artist. When a cute photographer at school helps Carlos compile a portfolio for an interview at Macy's FeatureFace makeup counter, it seems that Carlos's dreams may come true. But then his mother loses her job at the dry cleaner's and his sister's abusive boyfriend begins threatening Carlos, too.
The plot twists are preposterous, but Carlos's optimism, self-confidence, and humor make him an appealing protagonist and a model of resilience for gay teens. ”
