I am the farthest person imaginable to be interested in modelling, but the transition Violet has from the small town she grew up in to the runways of New York were really appealing to me. It's years later, but still if I got my hands on the sequel(s) I would read them. ( )

Not that bad. I always like stories that take place in New York.

Although, I wanted to punch her in the face. Clearly that boy likes her. psht. ( )

All right, I'll admit that I only bought this book because it was in the clearance bin at Borders and it was four bucks. And the back looked intriguing.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything terribly good either. I guessed the ending right as the plot began to show up, and while some of the runway and behind-the-scenes stuff were interesting, I wasn't too involved in the story. There were some funny bits, but it wasn't the same as, say Teen Idol or Audrey, Wait!. Definitely one for a skim pile when there is nothing else better to read. ( )

What can I say- I'm a sucker for teen fiction, especially with female characters who are learning to NOT be wallflowers. Do I think the story was a smidge unrealistic? Yes. Did I still enjoy it while it lasted? Yes. ( )
