Review: Violet by Design by Melissa Walker

I was going to get out of the modeling business for good.
But now I'm having trouble sticking with my decision. After all, if it weren't for modeling, I might still be the invisible wallflower. Hot guys like Paulo wouldn't be interested in me. And I'd never have seen Brazil or Spain--and now France! On the other hand...
I also wouldn't have to choose between my best friend from home and my agent's shrill demands. Or anguish over my body the way only runway models do. Not to mention all this trouble I'm getting into for speaking out in the press about eating disorders.
Maybe the life of an international model isn't for me. But if I quit for good, I might always wonder... What if?

As I'm sure you've already heard, Violet by Design is a wonderful book told in a convincing way that any girl can relate to. I loved following Violet's struggle between her two selves, on and off the runway, and the development of all the secondary characters. The characters were defintely what hooked me, especially being the second in the series, where there is often an emotional arc missing, especially in this type of fiction. But I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I'm sure you will too. So go on, pick it up. What have you got to lose?
