Glamour, April 26 2012
By Danyelle0423 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: On The Runway Glamour (Paperback)
Paige and Erin are back for the fifth installment of the On the Runway series and things are just as crazy as before. Paige's engagement to Dylan Marceau shocked the fashion world and Runway fans. Even though Paige seems to be happy, Erin can't but wonder if the engagement is true love or just a desire for attention and publicity. As Paige's love life takes off, Erin starts to feel pressure from Blake to become more than friends. But she doesn't know if she's ready.Amidst all this, they still have their TV show and all the drama that comes with it. As they prepare for a trip to the Bahamas they realize that paradise isn't all its cracked up to be storms of different calibers and types. Will they be able to do the right thing in a business that encourages the worst? Or will they crack and put aside their virtue for fame?

As I've mentioned before, Melody Carlson is by far one of my favorite, if not my favorite young adult author. She has a knack for expressing just how teens feel and act. This book is no different. She perfectly expresses how a Christian teen would feel in the spotlight trying to hold on to her values. It's amazing how accurate her books are.
Another thing this author is great at is making her characters realistic. She makes the characters' struggles understandable and believable. They make mistakes, they learn, the struggle. It makes her characters that much more likable. The character development isn't a massive part of the story, just because character development was pretty much already established in the first four books of the series.
Romance is still under construction in this book, Paige has a fiancé, their mom is married now, but Erin's relationship with Blake is still in question. I can't help but root for that relationship I work out. The author left a question mark on that topic, hopefully it gets worked out in the next book.
One of my favorite parts of this book is the light that the author paints fashion. She basically puts that fashion isn't wrong, even for Christians. That it's actually a good way to share your faith and make a difference in the industry. It makes me, and those who read this, rethink any opinions that they have about fashion.
Overall, this the best installment of this series yet. I highly recommend this series for any teen or preteen girl who likes fashion. I give this book a four out of five.

Where's the Bible?, Dec 1 2011
By J:-)mi "~ Eph. 3:20" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: On The Runway Glamour (Paperback)
ust like the other books in the On The Runway series, much more is taught about fashion than faith. The issues covered are looked at from a moral or logical negative consequences aspect, not spiritual. The big issue in this book is whether or not someone should have sex before marriage. Not once is the Bible considered as a reason for someone having those standards. Rather it is discussed in terms of culture - it's popular, everyone is doing it, therefore Erin's views on it must be wrong. Even Erin's mom gives in and while it is implied that Erin will continue to believe that sex should be saved for marriage, she really isn't shown as having any good reason. There are some discussions about faith and prayer in chapter 6. When Erin feels upset she prays and is reminded of God's faithfulness to her. Then in chapters 15 and 16, another character challenges Erin to look at others through God's eyes and reminds her of the power of prayer.~ CTF Devourer
1 Corinthians 6:18 - Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

This is the first book I have read in this series, but it was well worth reading. I really enjoyed the book. The author has written a wonderful book with a great plot, well developed characters and interesting story. I will be looking to buy the other books in this series to read.
