Imogene is back, after her introduction in A GIRL LIKE MOI.

She is fabulous, as usual, and spending her summer in Paris with her best friend, Evie, and is accompanied by her cute little dog, Toy.

Don't think her summer is all fun and games -- she has her work cut out for her, by running Hautelaw Paris for spring. During her stay in Paris, her job is in danger when the models for fashion week go on strike and fashion week is canceled.

But then Imogene and Evie discover ''Monsieur X," an unknown fashion designer, get stuck in the middle of a counterfeit bag deal, and life gets even more hectic.

Read how Imogene gets tangled up in her own web of lies. Read how she saves fashion week, dresses to kill, and manages boys and lipgloss. Also, after she and Paolo are over, maybe there will even be a new summer love? Will Imogene remain composed, or absolutely lose it?

Imogene, teenaged fashionista on a budget, journalist, and big dreamer, is devastated when her astronomical credit card bill causes her parents to cancel her trip to Paris and sign her up for a summer internship program until she can pay back all of her debt. Soon, though, things for the resourceful, quick-thinking girl from Greenwich, Connecticut, are looking up. Rather than spending countless hours going crazy at a dreary public library internship, Imogene will be staying with her best friend, Evie, in a fabulous apartment in New York and working to pay back her credit card at her dream job--she'll be an intern at a hot fashion magazine! She's friends with a supermodel. There's even a cute Italian guy, the mysterious Paolo, to complete the picture of perfection. What more could a girl want?

Well, for one thing, Imogene would enjoy her job more if she wasn't the junior intern to evil Brooke's senior. Imogene and Brooke got off to a bad start, sure, but she never could have imagined the depths of her jealous coworker's capacity for evil! And what's worse, Paolo's got Imogene's cell phone--and when she calls, girls answer! She can't even find Paolo, and she's not sure if she's madly in love with him or furious with him. Can Imogene find her way past all of the obstacles in her way and have the summer of her dreams after all?

A GIRL LIKE MOI is a fabulously funny story, if a tad predictable. The characters are all awesome, and the writing is brilliant. I really love Imogene's voice! I'll be thrilled to read more from Lisa Barham whatever she writes, but I'd be absolutely ecstatic to see a sequel to this awesome book! Despite my dislike for books with pictures, the illustrations in this book are just as good as the story itself, and not at all distracting from the wonderful words that they're printed next to. This book, as a whole, is magnificent, and would, I'm sure, be even more marvelous for anyone interested in fashion!… (más)
