Melissa Walker does an outstanding job with her novel, Violet on the Runway. This book is great for anyone ages 16 and older!
Violet Greenfield is just a girl trying to get through life unnoticed. At six foot one that might seem impossible but Violet seems to do a pretty good job at it. That is until a pushy modeling agent walks into her life. While working at the local movie theater, Violet meets Angela Blythe from Tryst Models in New York City. Angela thinks that Violet is the next big thing and she doesn’t hesitate to offer her what seems like the chance of a lifetime.
When Violet heads off to NYC she is pampered and quickly begins to think that the model lifestyle is something she could easily do. She soon finds out that it’s not as perfect as it seems. With a roommate who not only seems to despise her but who is doing cocaine and making herself throw up, Violet quickly sees the less glamorous side to modeling. But she is quickly sucked in to the city party scene and her face is plastered in papers and blogs. When she finally realizes that the life of a model is not what she expected, she has seemingly lost her only real friends and is “dating” a really jerk. She finds herself questions what she really wants.
Will Violet stick it out in the model world? Or will see realize that there are more important things in life than pretty pictures and crazy parties? You’ll have to read to find out and I suggest you do that before the release of Violet by Design, which is scheduled to be released in March of 2008! I am definitely eagerly awaiting the continuation of this series and you should be too!
