Summary from Capstone Young Readers
16-year-old Chloe Montgomery beat out the competition to win Teen Design
Diva, but she already has another challenge to face — tackling her
internship. After winning the first season of the fashion reality show,
Chloe is ready to start her job with a famous designer, Stefan Meyers,
in New York City. But with an old crush and new challenges to contend
with, Chloe discovers that fast-paced fashion industry isn’t for the
faint of heart. Will she be able to make it work, or will the balancing
act prove to be too much for this budding designer?
Nayu's thoughts
Somehow
I'd managed to think I'd reviewed Chloe's tale, which I hadn't. I
love tales where characters chase their dreams, which for Chloe
evolved around fashion. She gets to see a variety of departments in a
fashion house, as well as a variety of characters. Her fellow interns
are competitive, some with a bit of a mean streak, but by working
hard and being good Chloe is rewarded with amazing opportunities.
I
like how modest she is, how she doesn't always think her ideas are
good, but how she ends up being the one pointed out as having
potential. Life isn't straight forward, but Chloe meets each problem
face on and, sometimes with much needed friendly advice, she conquers
them. This is a feel good book which everyone, regardless of how into
fashion you are, will enjoy.
