About
this book:
“Sink or swim?
Paige’s engagement to designer Dylan Marceau shocks the fashion world. Although Paige appears to be happy, Erin wonders if it’s true love or just a desire for attention and publicity. And as Paige’s love life takes off, Erin is feeling pressure from Blake to take their friendship to a romantic level. Is she ready?
These two very different sisters still have one thing in common—their fashion TV show and all the drama that comes along with it. As they prepare for a trip to film in the Bahamas, the Forrester sisters discover that paradise isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Can they do the right thing in tough situations—and the right thing for each another—in a business that often encourages the worst?”

{Add ½ star for those interested in fashion and designer names.}
Oooh, the
faith content was quite strong in this one! While still heavily focused on
fashion, “Glamour” correspondingly had some more serious parts and
responsibility that I liked seeing. It was also neat to see the Carter House Girls again.
Looking
forward to reading and reviewing the last book next month! :)
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
