"IT GIRL"
Violet Greenfield, fresh young model "it girl" of the moment, grows with this book as she enters her first year of college. Like so many of us college is an eye opener that leads us to new experiences. Violet wants all of that with out the pressures of the media controlled model world. She begins to find herself and what (model or college girl) and whom she wants (Roger or new beau Oliver), which is really what college brings us.
Melissa Walker has hit the nail on the head with this story and real experiences that many of us face.
I loved the freshness of this story. The modeling world is such an idolized, glamorized, fantasized profession that many don't stop to really think behind he make-up. This story captures both so well for a young audience. The side plot of underage teen drinking in this story is, unfortunately, a part of growing up in the college world. While some may shun this book for its boldness with merely glazing over the subject and using it as setting, the author really is painting a canvas for what it's like. I am hoping in the next book, her characters fall into some repercussions.
