Poseur (Poseur Series #1)

Reviewed by Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen for TeensReadToo.com

Four girls, four dilemmas, one mindset: fashion.

On the first day of her freshman year, Janie Farrish was already criticized, all because of her horrible acne. Now that all of it is gone, Janie wants everyone to see her new look as she enters her sophomore year. But the more she thinks about it, the more she feels like she is just trying too hard. With wanting to become just a tad bit popular, it doesn't help that her twin brother, Jake, is joining the in crowd, making his way toward Janie's enemy, Charlotte. At least she has her drawings to keep her mind off things. Even though she may not think that she is attractive, others do, especially the senior who just transferred back to Winston Prep, Evan.

Charlotte will always be the popular trendsetter. She can have any clothes she wants and any guy she wants. Unfortunately, trying to get Jake as her boyfriend is harder than she thought, mainly because she thinks Janie is in her way. The only way for her to get Jake is for Charlotte to play nice, which is easier said then done, since she is the one that gave Janie that terrible nickname, Pompidou.

Melissa Moon is ghetto fabulous. Being half Korean and half African-American, and the daughter of a very famous rapper, Melissa has one thing on her mind: starting her own industry. She wants to start it quick so it can be powerful and successful. And her main goal is for everyone to breathe Melissa Moon.

Petra Green is just naturally beautiful. All the stuff she does to make herself look ugly, from wearing mismatched clothes to having not-so-perfect hair; nothing keeps Petra from being gorgeous. It also doesn't help when her plastic surgeon dad uses Petra to try and get more customers, by claiming that she was all his doing. All Petra wants to do is take care of her adopted sisters, and survive her messed up home life.

All four girls propose their own special studies group, only to have them morph into one, whether they like it or not. Even though each girl is extremely different, they have one thing in common -- their passion for fashion.

Witty, artsy, and hilarious, POSEUR is a great start for this new series. Fashionistas look out because Janie, Charlotte, Melissa, and Petra are ready to conquer the fashion industry.

Poseur= NEXT CLIQUE SIERES!!!

Okay i L-O-V-E the clique series and I wanted another book like that because I read all of them and the next one wasn't coming for like a couple months so I picked Posuer and the second in the series and let me tell you it was wayy GOOD!!! I loved these books alot because it shows all these people grouping together to make a fashion label when they are soo not alike! However, they aren't better than the clique. But its more grown up than the clique and in way different. okay okay read it to get wat i mean by this.

Good read.

I really enjoyed the book a bit confusing i thought, but in overall it was good.

i am lost

i am confused and lost where this book is headed to. i dont get it.

humm

didnt like it that much

Great Book!!

I really enjoyed the book once I knew each character's personality. I didn't like the beginning though, because they just tell you what each girl was wearing and describe their first day of school. It doesn't explain their personalties though. Also their is an on/off relationship going on through the book that I didn't really get at first but their is a really surprising twist at the end about the relationship. Overall it was a great book about fashionistas trying to get along!!

I will never forget it

the characters in this book are so realalistic and am a pre teen and i fell in love with it. BUt some parts were inaproppate so be careful of that. But over all i absalotly loved it. I am starting a book club to read this book. I recommended this book to everyone of my friends. it is a book for people who love fashion and every thing about it. hope you love this book. it is the ultimate girl book. this book will inspire you to go with your dream and never give up. You will love this book.

Funny & Exciting Read!

I started reading "Posuer" with low expectations and ended the book with a positive reading experience. The story is great, the characters each have a distinct personality and style, and who doesn't love the cute sketches and drawings throughout the book? But what captured me the most was the writing. Rachel Maude's writing style is unique from many modern writers. She writes with simplicity, sarcasm, and humor which really adds charm to the novel. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and recommend the Posuer series to anyone who loves a wild and witty plot.

good.

I really liked this book. It had an upbeat story that kept me reading.

Poseur 'cause (admit it!)- its hard to always "be yourself"

Poseur it about four high school girls who love fashion but hate each other. They are forced to create a designer label for their exclusive LA private school TOGETHER. Can their differences help the label or destroy their reputations?
The book is hard to follow at first but once you get the hang of it you won't be able to stop reading. This is one of the most addicting books you will ever read-but them again I am obsessed with books-from the beginning you start thinking wow that girl knows how to dress! At first I kept reading cause I absolutely loved their style but then there is a moment in between the beginning and the middle that makes you flip the pages faster than you can read them to know what will happen next.
Is you like books like gossip girl or the clique you will absolutely love this book.Plus it teaches you that you can't always be the original one and you can't follow the crowd like a sheep either, you have to find a middle point to figure out who you are and who you want to be.

Great Book

The book Poseur is about four very different types of girls all going to the same expensive private school in California. When the school insists to start school clubs and to propose ideas for clubs, the four teenagers¿ ideas revolve around fashion. When all four soon find out that each other are in the same club, they wonder if their differences will come in the way of creating one fashion piece for their label.
This book has the same publishers as series like The Clique and Gossip Girls. It is very good because it is funny and interesting, and the book is well-written. Poseur would be the perfect book for teenage girls that like fashion and designing.

Fashionable

This book is really good and it's about 4 different girls from different groups who come together and make up a fashion label.I like this book because it deals with fashion and i like fashion. So i would recommend this book to anyone that likes fashion. Go check it out.

Hard to start

I liked this book in the middle more than the beginning. It is a very hard book to follow at first but once you get the hang of the writing it is wonderful!

I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT READING IT!!!!!!!

This was a great read if you like drama, fashion, romance, and some real life would-you-do-that?s and lessons. I recommend to all!!

Not Bad For a Poppy

Generally I don't go for any books by Poppy Publishing, but this was a fashionable exception. Despite the bratty, cliqueish attitude displayed by all of the girls, this was a nice read and funny too. It's perfect for anyone who likes fashion and humor.

Cant Wait for the second one !!!!!!!!!!

this was a great easy read and i can't wait untill the second one comes out.

luvit
