Review: Fashion Jungle - Rachel Van Dyken and Kathy Ireland




Fashion Jungle

Review: Fashion Jungle - Kathy Ireland and Rachel Van Dyken - January 2020
Danica, Everlee, Zoe, and Brittany were the best of friends, the four of them first met when they were fourteen years old and moved to New York all with dreams of becoming somebody in the fashion world. The girls lived together in a cramped apartment, the ones who didn't make it was sent home but the ones who had the strength persevered. As the girls got older, they got wiser and found a new manager who loved them as if they were his own children. Danica and Everlee stayed within the modeling world, Zoe a fashion designer and Brittany wrote for a fashion magazine. They still made time each week to catch up and all was going well until the girls discovered their friend Danica dead and hiding secrets. The book then jumps to her funeral where the girls are faced with Dan coming back into their lives, he was Danica's twin brother and someone like Danica kept secrets for blackmail purposes. He could destroy people with the knowledge he has. His goal is to find out who killed Danica and why was she hiding? Over the year he spends more and more time with the girls who it seems have reached their end of what they can take and with each having secrets of their own, how much more can they keep appearances. Everlee is pregnant and yet her husband now seems more interested in the new models, Brittany was in love with Ronan and fell pregnant but gave up her child for adoption secretly and Zoe had a stalker whom she killed and managed to frame with help - his brother Aaron. The one person who knows all their secrets though is Dan - will he let the girls live in peace or is it time to cash in those favors for keeping their secrets contained? Fashion Jungle was a good read and reminded me of a dark version of Sex and the City with the underbelly of the Fashion World.

James Dashner

The Death Cure written by James Dashner No, really, what did I read and why ?  James Dashner, what, what, what are you doing?  There are a few cool reveals along the way, but as far as books go, this was not a satisfying conclusion to a trilogy.  We get answers, but the one thing I wanted to know most of all (Thomas' past) remains a mystery.  It felt like most of this book was pointless action that dragged on for no reason, so even though there were things happening, it felt like nothing was happening at all.  The plot was not advanced.  It was violence for the sake of violence.  Theresa and Thomas were, at this point, the only two characters I cared about, and Teresa barely showed up at all in the entirety of the story.  The ending was rushed, and yes, I enjoyed the few twists we got at the very  end (the last page ), but come on.  This was a story that needed answers and plot twists and instead, we got epic battle scenes that I didn't ...

The Prophet of Yonwood

The Prophet of Yonwood written by Jeanne DuPrau First of all, I still don't understand why this is called "the third book of Ember" when it is clearly not the third. I was so confused about what was happening, where Lina and Doon were, until I read the back cover and found out it was a prequel. That is not the sort of information I should be getting off the back cover, that is something that should be made evident upon starting the book. For a children's book, there is an overload of social commentary, and I'm pretty sure the entire ideas would just fly over their heads, and I thought People of Sparks was bad in that regard! Hah! Regardless of whether or not I agree with her views, this is entirely too preachy. It proved very difficult to get into the plot, the characters were not well-developed, it was very slow paced, with not much action at all. I think I may possibly have only liked one page of this entire novel--the last one. How ridiculous. Don...
