"Poseur (noun)- po-suer- a person who pretends to be what he or she is not."

Wiston Prep school of the elite in Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles: the glam, the cool, the rich, the famous- then there's those on academic scholarships, like tenth grader Janie Farrish. Then, there's the French-fied coquette Charlotte Beverwil who is- in her mind, at least- the star of the show. Melissa Moon, daughter of the famous rapper, Seedy Moon, and who thinks the world of herself. Last, but not least,the aphrodisical beauty Petra Greene- "hippie." Wears and eats and touches nothing that hurts animals and the environment, though rumor has it that her father- famous plastic surgeon Dr. Greene- did a couple- or five or ten- surgeries on her....

What do these four totally different sixteen-year-olds have in common? They love fashion, but they hate each other. Now, they're stuck in their special class- and they'll have to make their own fashion label! Of course, they totally clash. With everything. From boys and brothers, little middle schoolers, parental drama, attitudes, and warring fueds between them, there's NO way they can get their fashion label up and running- can they?

Poseur is a humorous, light-hearted yet serious (well, as much as fashion could get), intriguing, suspenseful teen drama novel series you could want compared to other series like The Clique, The A-List, or Gossip Girl. Get ready for the fashion wars!

There was many different plots and mini-stories/dramas within the whole story itself. It developed the characters and secondary characters to give you a view of the whole big picture and connect with their problem in their point-of-view. I don't think you could get bored with the book. Not to mention, there are sketches of different designs, people, outlines, and some step-by-step instruction of different fashions! You get the visuals, you get the world, you get the writing- what else? Poseur's a good novel. :)
