This 200 pager was the easiest read I've ever read but there are some things that were very interesing and worth getting into the human psychology :) How I learned to find my own style in writing is mostly from books like these from the Candy Apple Series when I was little,they really made me become a bettter writer.

For example, listen to this:
Julia's eyes widened. "You watched a movie together?". "This dumb horror flick." Skyler waved her hand. "But later that night-". "Whoa, whoa , whoa." Julia bolted upright. "This was at night?".

Even though there isn't the kind of description with a ton of adjectives like the "beautiful, pinkish sky", the description of what everyone is doing while talking gives you a better clue of what is going on in the plot, even if you've never read this book before you can see scenes in your head clearer. If you're not into fashion this book can be really boring to you and you'd give it 3 stars because there was - a lot of outfit description where it wasn't really that necessary but to me it was kind of fun to hear about it and see what Kowitt could do with it... It starts right at the beginning with:

Skyler Henson's palms were sweating. Mortified, she wiped them off on her green plaid miniskirt, hoping no one at Fashion Club had noticed. Today's fashionista outfit- black newsboy cap, enormous hoop earings, above-the-knee white socks- was meant to attract attension.

There are a lot of paragraphs like this, describing the material of socks a person is wearing and if someone doesn't know what a kind of material is called- it can get even painful reading those "descriptions". Especially when Holly starts describing glitter and jewelry (I'll admit it, even to me that part was a little too much). It can be a lot to take for someone's taste but this book was a lot of fun because of the plot and the character development. The main character and Nathan are the two opposites but Holly somehow makes them relate and even kind of fall in love with each other. I think you've figured it out alone already but here is the plot review:

Skyler Hanson, awesome stylist and Nathan Stillman, a drum player from a rock band cross paths in the most unusual way. When the most popular girl in school Madison Gillete challenges Skyler to transform Stillman into a cool guy almost overnight, it isn't easy for even the best fashion girl to do. Will she make him into a fashionista's dream before Valantine's Day or will she start living the biggest nightmare- of her life?

I'd recommend but try reading it as a chick flick and don't take it too seriously :)
