Book Review : A Girl Like Moi: The Fashion-Forward Adventures of Imogene


My rating : 3 stars

Blurb
A girl. A dream job. A city full of possibilities... Imogene is obsessed with fashion. Combine that with her talent for trouble (aka maxing out her "emergencies only" AmEx) and suddenly she's not going to chere Paris with her best friend for the summer. No, she must do the unthinkable for a stylish Greenwich girl such as herself -- get a job. Resourceful as always, Imogene works her connections and lands a dream internship at a fashion forecasting agency in New York. Now she's lunching at Serendipity, first on line at the Barney's warehouse sale, and skoshing seats at fashion week. But when Imogene's dream is threatened by a cute Italian boy and one very evil intern, she questions what she really wants. And she learns that even in fashion, being true to yourself and following your dreams can go hand in hand.

My opinion
This book is about a girl named Imogene who is very ambitiuos and is her own person. Maxing out her credit card and getting fired from her "glamourous" job at McDonalds along with her friend Evvie, she is forced to do the unthinkable, get another job. She chooses an intern job in New York at a hot fashion magazine. The job also pays! While paying off her credit card, dealing with hot cell phone stealing hunks, money management problems, evil co workers, and spenders annonomous classes, she finds herself along the way. She keeps fighting to the end and learns that the fashion buisness is cut throat and not for the light hearted. 
This book was great! It was not like any other book I have read. . It is interesting and is able to keep your attention until the end. Although it is not one of the greatest pieces of literature, it still serves its purpose as a good read. I was very surpised, it had many French words in it.
