Will work for Prom Dress

Aimee Ferris            

Summary: 
Quigley Johnson has, reluctantly, given up the rest of her last year of high school to take part in her best friend Ann's Betterment Plan, which will turn them into the best-dressed, most sought-after, most admired girls at their senior formal. Because - hey - who doesn't want the perfect prom, complete with a dream dress and a devastatingly handsome date?

But the prom costs money - lots of money - and even though the girls could easily have Ann's mom design their dresses (she's only Victoria Parisi, one of the most famous designers in the world), Ann insists that they pay their own way.  And that's how Quigley gets stuck making artistic topping masterpieces on frozen pizzas canvases, before becoming a live model for Ms. Parisi's fashion design class, where she meets Zander.

He's cute, and cool, and funny, with a killer design sensibility (even if he can't sketch).  But is he too good to be true? And what about David, the hot, talented artist at school, who's also kind of a jerk, but won't leave Quigley alone? And Ann - she started the Betterment Plan to improve Quigley and herself, but it seems like it's ripping their friendship to shreds.

This road to the prom dream may just end in disaster.

Plot:

This is a cute, heart-warming romantic story. It’s not an entirely unique concept, a girl worried about prom etc. But the author managed to throw in some quirky characters and events in the mix that made it a very entertaining read.

Characters:

Different, entertaining and flawed, the characters in this book are very interesting. All of them are very relatable and realistic, although some are in pretty strange situations, and you truly start to feel for them. I didn't fall in love with any of them, but they're all pretty likable.

Who should read this?

10+, for some mild language and references to mature content. This is essentially a chick lit book for teens and I doubt it’ll appeal to boys. Definitely a fun, quick read if you’re looking for something to do, but don’t have a lot of time. It only took me about 2 and a half hours to read through this book.

My rating:

While this book didn’t make a very lasting impression on me I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. 3/5
