Paige knows it's the perfect gift for her best friend Gabe. A subscription to a self-help book club that promises to transform its clients into brand new people.
When the first book comes, Gabe assumes it's a joke. But he's hooked as soon as he reads the first paragraph. And when he feels more confident the next day at work, he wonders if maybe there is something to it after all.
As he reads more and more, he doesn't realize just how much he's changing. Not when he starts to wear blouses to work. Not when he starts answering to Gabby. Not even when he and Paige start to have feelings for each other.
Paige and Gabriel are good friends but she's moved away. They still keep in touch, though. She sends him a box which is addressed to Gabrielle, not Gabe. She says she made a typo. Inside the box is a piece of chocolate which Gabriel thinks is really good and a self-help book.
It's from the Becoming the New You Book Club.
He reads the book straight through and this initiates a series of events with go on with further books and changes in him.
His boss, though, is ultra-nasty to him when he starts wearing female-type clothing to work despite the fact he's the best employee they have.
So, he faces a question. Does he give up the changes he has been going through, no matter how they make him feel, in order to keep his job or does he stays with what has begun. If he does that, though, what does he do?
I really liked the book. It was obvious what was happening to him but there was still the question of what final decision he would make.
