This absolutely hilarious book was so very well crafted with a fantastic plot and characters I fell for hardcore.

I read the first few chapters, got distracted by another book, and then came to this and got quickly absorbed. There’s a lot of getting to know the characters but it paid off; I became incredibly invested in them and the story.

Though there are a lot of descriptions of clothing and details of fashion, this book also rocked a really interesting crime plot. It was never completely clear if I was looking at a murder or if I was looking at a simple accident and I felt the confusion of the characters as they mumbled through the plot and figured things out. The mystery elements were fun, as were the relationships and the social dynamics.

Anyone interested in print press would find this especially intriguing. I loved seeing behind the scenes of a magazine that had revolutionized the fashion world and had created so many differences in the world, and I loved seeing how consumers could move their focus to the next great thing.

The friendships and relationships between characters were all well done and well written. Romance played a small role, but the relationship between employer and employee was probably the most fascinating of the book. I also enjoyed hearing about Bess and Cat as their friendship changed and evolved, and I think many people will relate to Cat’s experience with her parents.

I highly recommend this as a clever and well-written chick flick with a lot of depth.

I do not recommend this feminist view of the world! Truly disgusting.

Ms Bourland certainly knows the fashion industry. The first chapter alone was a who's who of fashion namedroppers.
Through a series of seemingly random events, Fashion editor Cat Ono and Police Detective Matt Hutton's lives are drawn together, apart, then back together again as the mysterious death of one of Cat's co-workers sparks a wild ride thru the fashion industry.
Surrounded by a gaggle of party girls, models, and frenetic magazine editors and writers, Cat finds herself through into the wild sea of internet and Insta-fame. How she handles the hard life of a magazine editor is the major focus of the book - and Cat's emotional growth.
With more fabric names, textures, styles, and industry secrets, Ms Bourland shows us what a true fashion maven is.
The pace is fast, the characters fully realized and the plot line solid. I highly recommend this little gem.

He gets some unwelcome help from RAGE editor Catherine Ono and her colleague Bess as they insist on getting involved. The ladies are determined to solve the murder as stylishly as possible. A tongue in cheek look at the fashion industry and our obsession with women’s bodies
