She wears all the right designers and knows all the right people, but can her reputation survive a collision with a six-foot-plus model at the Chanel Show? The fall has been splashed across every newspaper and television set in the world, it seems, and Alex has sworn to adopt status incognito. But there's one small problem. How do you get the scoop when you're hidden under the covers in your hotel room? Just when all hope seems lost, Alex heard the word that an avant-garde fashion show is happening that night at a shady Parisian nightclub. She can keep her cover and get her story. When she finds both a love interest and perhaps the hottest new underground designer in town at the show, Alex can only wonder if it's all too good to be true. | | | |

Don't Waste Your Time! Sep 22, 2007 I visit a website by the same name and had been looking forward to reading this for some time. What a disapointment!I am so sick of books that are by the numbers! I wasn't expecting too much, just an entertaining read, but this had a wafer thin plot, a cliched cutesy heroine, and no wit or originality to commend it.

Some like it NOT... Shallow and void of a good plot. May 24, 2007 What can I tell you, the best part for me was the fact that the main character was focused on finding a freaky Peruvian designer who comes up with the most divine dresses ever to be made and also the fact that she talks about our pisco sours and Maccu Piccu bars scattered in Europe but other than the that the book is ultra shallow and full of voids I didn't like it even though I am crazy for fashion, I am a fashionista personified but it didn't do it for me.
Dam's swipes at the fashion world's myopia and absurdity amuse when they don't feel shopworn. The plot hangs together by a thread, and the coquetry is forced but Dam has stitched a gossamer-light read with sumptuous material and gentle ribbing. The author tries to deliver a funny story with the ups and downs of the fashionista's world but it's just not enough for the glorified reader.
Read it if you get it for free or if there's nothing else to read but don't think you will be blown away since this is just way too light to capture your heart.
Not much thought May 17, 2007 This book doesn't really get the mind going and unless you know fashion, some names you won't know. Although it was a cute read, it isn't something I would read again.
More hip than the Devil Wears Prada May 10, 2007 I enjoyed this book. I enjoy chick lit novels and this was that combined with a lesson in fashion. I learned alot about Paris, fashion week, and designers. I would say that this was in some ways similar to the Devil Wears Prada in that it is about fashion and it's main character is a young female. But this combines humor, romance, and plenty of 80's culture. I would recommend it.
