“Fashion isn’t everything.
It’s the only thing.

Halloween comes to Winston Prep and the newly named teen fashion label POSEUR introduces this season’s must-have accessory: a red-hot handbag called the Trick-or-Treater. But whose design is sweetest? Janie, Petra, Melissa, and Charlotte all insist: Mine. You see the problem?

Good thing, then, for the sweetness of revenge. Time to dust off that costume and put your best mask forward. ‘Tis the season for candy, conflict, and couture.”

I don’t know why I love this series but I do. I’m not particularly interested in fashion, okay honestly I’m not interested in it at all. And the whole premise of this book is a fashion designing foursome. Christian Louboutin, Narcisco Rodriguez, Chopard... these words, they mean nothing to me. And yet, I can’t stop turning the pages. I even stashed this book in my purse in case I had a wait at the polls... which I didn’t! DANG IT!

I don’t particularly love any of the characters. But I still crave their story! How can Janie not know that Evan likes her!? Are Charlotte and Jake ever going to get back together!? And Petra has a midnight rendevous! This book was rolling in the boy drama. And if you must have drama at least make it boy drama!

It’s a fun and of course fabulous read! I can’t wait until the next title in the series Petty in Pink! Unfortunately it doesn’t hit the shelves until July 2009.
