chance of a lifetime. She gets the opportunity to walk the
runway of Fashion Week in New York City. Before Violet's
life hit the fast lane, she saw herself in a very negative
light. Violet is a very tall, and very skinny girl in her
high school. Because of the big differences between her and
her peers, she feels like an outsider and just wants to be
accepted and popular. When she gets her chance to stand out
in the crowd, she takes it. Violet decides that modeling is
what she wants to do with her life and tries to settle into
the world of super models and celebrities. However, Violet
soon finds out that all the glitter and glamor seen from
the outside is not what the model life is about. A big
decision needs to be made, either continue with her life as
a star or go back home to her best friends she left behind
in her "plain" life.
Violet on the Runway is one of the best leisure books I
have read in a long time. The book kept me interested as I
dove into the plot. The author, Melissa Walker, did an
excellent job. She told a story of glitter and glamor on
the surface but a mess deeper inside. The main character in
the book thinks all her dreams are coming true, something is
finally happening the way she wants it. But, later the
reader decides with Violet whether or not this celebrity
style life is really what Violet wants. I have to say, as a
girly girl, this is currently one of my favorite books that
I am recommending and sharing with all my friends. I
absolutely loved it. Kudos to Melissa Walker, kudos.
