review 1: A very enjoyable book and a good choice for reluctant readers. The narrative was addictive in that People Magazine way but with more depth. It was really good on fashion design, but the photography part was sprinkled with technical errors (eg aperture speed, film developed in a darkroom with visible red light instead of in pitch dark etc). These errors did not affect the narrative, but I wish authors would ask an expert to fact check. The characters were fun, especially the male fashion design students and the fashion designer mom. The story taught moral lessons without sounding too preachy.
review 2: This book is just another typical high school drama story. It is about two best friends, Anne and Quigley, who are getting jobs to raise money to buy prom dresses
... more. After many failed jobs they go and work for Anne’s mom’s designing class. Mrs. Parisi is a beautiful and famous designer. When Anne and Quigley begin working, they already fall into relationship problems. Anne falls for a gothic designer which she and Quigley name Spikester. Also Quigley falls for a boy named Zander. Finally, at this point, the story begins to speed up and get more interesting. Quigley gets asked out by one of her worst nemesis, David. She rejects him harshly but later on in the story they go on a date which is taken too seriously by David. Quigley decides she is also going to let Zander have a chance. She ends up with Zander which makes David really angry. When Zander finds out that Anne and her boyfriend have been up to no good, he blames Quigley for not trying to stop them. They get back together after Quigley gives a very inspirational speech at the banquet. They all end up going to prom together. I liked the authors writing style in this book because it was very straight forward and clear. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a teen drama book. Although this book starts out very slow, it gets interesting to read once you figure it out. less

Cute story. Predictable but still cute.
