When Chelsea Martin's new stepmother gives her a new makeover, she discovers that her appearance (and social standing) have changed completely! Having gone from geek to chic, she know finds herself getting attention from guys and now is sitting at the popular table. But she quickly finds out that 1. All of the guys that are attracted to her are jerks, and 2. Girls don't want to be friends with the girl that all the guys want. Will Chelsea learn that self-image isn't everything?

When Chelsea Martin's future stepmother helps her transform from gawky and geeky into the hottest girl at her new school, Chelsea is pretty sure it's the best thing that ever happened to her. But her hot new look has a downside. She's attracting lots of guys who all have one thing in common: they're jerks. And stealing the attention of all the guys in school doesn't endear her to the girls either.

Chelsea finally finds a true friend in Janelle Parker, and a non-jerk, Nicholas, catches her eye. Janelle keeps telling her to be herself, but Nicholas is the only guy around who doesn't give her a second look. Can Chelsea and Janelle come up with a plan to get his attention? Or will Chelsea's new image ruin everything?
