I Feel Pretty

Renee Bennett is an anxious public relations worker who often feels invisible in a world that worships polished appearances. A head injury shifts her outlook, and when she recovers she believes she is radiant and fearless. She starts speaking up at work, dating with boldness, and testing boundaries she once avoided. The change brings comic chaos and unexpected advantages as friends, colleagues, and strangers react to her new aura in surprising ways. As Renee navigates this flashy identity through friendships, romance, and ambition she learns that confidence can alter how others treat her while pointing to what she really wants from life. The shift draws attention from people who never saw her before and forces her to decide what matters.
