Publisher's Summary

What happened to Betty is every woman's dream. Isn't it?  

There are those who never grow old because they are taken too soon. There are those who grow old without worries, enjoying everything life has to offer.  

There are those who desperately try to slow down the ticking clock.    

And then there's Betty. Betty, who mysteriously stops growing old on her 30th birthday - the same age as her mother when she died.    

The years leave no trace on Betty's face, but as everyone around her is transformed by the relentless march of time, her once golden life begins to come apart. 

Because an ageless face is a face without history, without passions, without memories.  

A blank canvas others will slowly, inexorably forget....

3*

A slow burn, and not one with a fast paced storyline.

Its an interesting concept, and provokes thoughts about how we conceptualize aging.

However I was expecting something a little more... waiting for something exciting that never happened.
