review 1: "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 o... moref 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.
review 2: Violet’s not exactly feeling fresh as a daisy, but waking up with funyun and beer breath is a good thing, right? I mean, isn’t that what college is all about?Vassar College has hot guys and cool classes for sure, but it’s also an hour from New York City. Is our Violet really done with the modeling world for good? She thinks so, but Angela her devil-agent won’t stop calling, and here’s the thing. . . some girl brings a copy of an ad Violet’s starring in (”Mirabella Campaign” and it’s pretty hot) to sociology class to discuss modeling’s negative effects on young girls. Well, if that isn’t awkward, what is? Violet can’t stop feeling like people are judging her without knowing her; They don’t know Violet the “Jolly Green Giant” from back home in North Carolina.And there’s Roger. . . Violet is truly tortured over her and Roger’s poetic kiss last summer. Roger dates Chloe now, and Chloe works at Teen Fashionista magazine. So guess who greets Violet on the first day of her internship at Teen Fashionista? Of course, it’s Chloe! Roger is Violet’s best guy friend since first grade, but does Chloe the girlfriend have to be so bubbly and call Roger “Rog“? It’s excruciating.Sometimes it’s hard to believe that “Vivacious Violet” is pretty well-known in the fashion world for her famous smile and her MySpace-is-my-diary mouth. So how is it that she is ducking out of modeling at the peak of her career to go to school? Let’s just say, she’s got something to get off her chest. And school and journalism are just the way she plans to do it. less
