Review: I haven't read the first book in this series, Beneath the Glitter, but the premise of this story seemed right up my alley. A YA book about girls dealing with love, fame, and friendship? And it has over a 4 star rating on Goodreads, so I decided to give it a shot.
After the whole fiasco with their animal fundraiser, Ava and Sophia London just can't seem to stay out of the spotlight. So when the offer to design a line for the New York Fashion Week, the girls can't believe their luck. The girls put their hearts and soul into their line, but they soon learn that fame isn't as amazing as it's cracked up to be. Everywhere they go, it seems like someone is trying to sabotage them. But who? Can they make it through fashion week before they're ruined for good?
Like I said, I thought I would really enjoy this book. It sounded like Lauren Conrad's books or Zoey Dean's A-List series. But I ended up being really disappointed with how this one turned out. The London sisters just seemed too perfect and their super nice personalities got a tad bit annoying. Who's that nice to everyone, all the time? Especially when it comes to famous people?
Not only were the girls' personalities not realistic, but the things they go through are too over the top. Pet-napping? Literally running into the person you're just thinking about, not once, but multiple times? Having multiple men madly fall in love with you just because you're you? Come on. I just wish this one was more realistic and less dramatic.
So overall, I feel like we got the sugared up version of a story about the "it" girls. Things seemed too juvenile, unrealistic, and often times not explained enough. I just couldn't wait to get through the story so I could move onto a different book. While it was a fast read that had some interesting parts, it wasn't for me.
I have been curious about this series for much the same reason as it caught your eye. Too bad it didn't deliver. Thank you for your honest review.
