Violet on the Runway is about a teenage girl that gets the chance of a lifetime. She gets the opportunity to walk the runway of Fashion Week in New York City. Before Violet's life hit the fast lane, she saw herself in a very negative light. Violet is a very tall, and very skinny girl in her high school. Because of the big differences between her and her peers, she feels like an outsider and just wants to be accepted and popular. When she gets her chance to stand out in the crowd, she takes it. Violet decides that modeling is what she wants to do with her life and tries to settle into the world of super models and celebrities. However, Violet soon finds out that all the glitter and glamor seen from the outside is not what the model life is about. A big decision needs to be made, either continue with her life as a star or go back home to her best friends she left behind in her "plain" life.

Violet on the Runway is one of the best leisure books I have read in a long time. The book kept me interested as I dove into the plot. The author, Melissa Walker, did an excellent job. She told a story of glitter and glamor on the surface but a mess deeper inside. The main character in the book thinks all her dreams are coming true, something is finally happening the way she wants it. But, later the reader decides with Violet whether or not this celebrity style life is really what Violet wants. I have to say, as a girly girl, this is currently one of my favorite books that I am recommending and sharing with all my friends. I absolutely loved it. Kudos to Melissa Walker, kudos.

There was some drug content in the book as well as mature issues that are faced.
