Will she be able to make it work, or will the balancing act prove to be too much for this budding designer?

Ratings and reviews

Because she's pursuing her dream as a designer and I just love how the story gives Chloe some depth to it. But what I like about is that she's learning that it takes more to be a fashion designer. It's a great book.

I am reading the book and so far I love it and the pictures in the book have inspired me to draw more designs. I love your books

I love this book because it shows that you don't always get what you want but you can get it sometimes
