Poseur: The Good, The Fab, and The Ugly

So the POSUER crew is back from its awesome debut party, but who IS the mysterious person who got into all their naming entries?

Not to mention, it's almost time for Halloween! So, here's the girls' idea: design a fashion bag and offer to one lucky person from all of Winston Prep. One problem. WHOSE bag design is the best to create? Janie's? Melissa's? Charlotte's? Or Petra's? Well, here's what the girls think: MINE. What's a fashion group to do?

Not to mention- of course- the drama they have to deal with on their own. Who exactly is Petra's dad hanging out with? Melissa's step-mom is just off-the-hook crazy to make her wedding just perfect- meanwhile driving Melissa crazy. Janie's feeling the academic scholarship vibe in the whole rich environment- is she really good enough for the elite, popular, and rich? Charlotte got her mind all twisted up since Janie's brother is out of the picture- or is he really? Meanwhile, people around them are starting to lose their senses.

A good book overall, some more new and cool sketches, but I personally like the first novel better with its freshness and totally unique ideas on fashion. I love the different bag outfits, but maybe I'm just not a bag person really. Semi-descriptive. I feel this book is for more character development than anything major, since the girls weren't really targeting or "disliking" each other much like they did POSUER, but they may have gone over that bridge already. Still pretty enjoyable.
