VIOLET ON THE RUNWAY
Melissa Walker
Berkley Jam Trade
September 2007
978-0-42521-704-7
Paperback
Young Adult Romance

 

When 17-year-old Violet Greenfield sees a very tall, chic looking woman one night at work, yelling at the ticket person she has absolutely no idea what she is in for.  When Violet asks the woman to follow her and the woman doesn’t, Violet could tell that the lady was blonde, but good grief.  However, the next day when she goes to school she has a modeling agency card in her front pocket, because according to Miss Big Chanel glasses, the lady from work, she could be the next big thing to hit the modeling market.  

This book was very intriguing; this reader couldn’t put the book down after she got about one chapter into it. Between the main character having to deal with photo shoots and the jealousy of her best friends, there’s no room for you to stop and breathe.   

This book is different from many others, the author actually worked with Elle magazine and other big magazine names so she knew how these things worked.  The author also has great imagery in her book, this reviewer could feel the way that Violet felt, or see Violet running to the bathroom.  At the end of this novel the reader saw that there will be a prequel, and literally jumped up and down then proceeded to run through the house and tell everyone that there would be a prequel. However, this reader is very curious to see if the author can top this book, this reviewer has faith though. Hopefully the reason for the rating of five stars is obvious here, and this author will keep up the good writing.
