Book Description:
A wallflower in the spotlight can do one of two things: wilt, or blossom... Violet Greenfield's life changes forever when a lady in giant Chanel shades tells her she could be IT, the next Kate Moss-but taller, and without the PR problems. That's how Violet winds up with a business card in the front pocket of her jeans on her first day as a senior in high school. Angela Blythe from Tryst Models in New York City wants to put Violet on a plane and whisk her into the world of high-heeled boots and oversized sunglasses. Tall, skinny Violet, who's been P-L-A-I-N practically forever. And guess what? She's going.

Violet was always just your average girl, who never stood out from the crowd -- until she got the chance of a lifetime.

She was asked to become a model for an agency and move to New York, so she takes a chance and graduates high school early to move into a cramped New York City apartment.

She thinks that it will be all glamor, all the time, but what she finds is the complete opposite. As she tries to battle keeping her old friends and making new ones, things get complicated.

Will Violet become the model she always wanted to be? Or will she fail under all the pressure?

A great read!
