confessions of a closet catholic cover

After I read the book Confessions of a Closet Catholic I paid particular attention to the front cover. All throughout the book there was reference to Justine's appearance. She often commented on how she felt that her hair was big and frizzy, she was overweight, and she got the short, brown, dumpy genes. I began to develop a mental picture in my head about what Justine looked like. I also feel that Justine's negative self image, and low self esteem played a part in the image that I developed. A couple of days after I read the book I noticed the picture on the front cover as it sat on my desk. I can only assume that the picture is of Justine. If it is in fact Justine, my mental picture did not at all match up with the picture on the book. The girl had tamed, pretty, curly brown hair completely lacking any frizz. Her skin was clear and her face was not chubby. I thought that the girl on the front cover was attractive. I don't know if everyone's book has the same picture on it, but I was just wondering if this picture went against the image that the text created for you? For me, after reading the book, my view of Justine changed because of the front cover.
