I wasn't expecting to love it so much, but the characters in this book crawled into my heart. This book took me by complete surprise!! I wasn't sure what I was expecting going into it, but it became this fun, entertaining, happy little daffodil of a book for me. First, we have Charlie Dean. She's--- well, she's odd and driven and lives for fashion. When I first started the book, I wasn't sure I was going to like Charlie and I kind of understood why she didn't have many (or any) friends. But after a while, her quirks and optimism grew on me. Also, she's brutally honest and it's hard for me to fault someone for that kind of honesty. I really liked Charlie's backstory and her relationship with her addict father. She wasn't angry at him like a lot of kids would be in that situation. She had clarity and vision that was beyond her years, and I think that's when I really started rooting for her. Next, there was John-- he was flawed for sure. He's not into fashion, but wants to go to Green Pastures Art School for metal work. I liked him despite his negativity and weaknesses. I didn't always agree with his actions, but he had redeemable qualities that made up for them. What I wanted more of: FASHION. So yes, this is a book about a fashion show, and we DO get descriptions of what goes down the runway-- but I wanted outfits throughout. There is some description of Charlie Dean's suits that she always wore, but after a while I got bored with those. If she's so fashionable, why is she always wearing the same thing? The ending also didn't blow me away. This book felt a little like a Cinderella story and I didn't get my fairy tale ending. OVERALL: The perfect book for a Project Runway junkie like myself. It's the story of teens competing for a fashion school scholarship and what they're willing to do to win. It somehow took 2 unlikable characters and made them people you want to succeed. Definitely recommend! My Blog: ![]() ![]() Here’s what I love about Susan Juby: it doesn’t matter if I’m initially interested in the topic she’s writing about, she always manages to pull me in with fantastic characterization and a brilliant narrative voice. This book is no exception. I love the journal format, I love the characters and how strongly their voices come through, I love that this book addresses heavy issues with a whole lot of heart. Highly recommended (along wth everything else Susan Juby has written). ![]() keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
