MOI: French Confessions of an American Girl

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? 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! Feb 11, Lusiana Hevita rated it liked it.

If I was 16 and in the same situation as Imogene, I probably would've chosen the same job. It's kind of creepy. Before I even picked this book up I decided that I wanted to be a fashion forecaster. I don't want to give away the whole story, but I just have to tell you my favorite part.

I really enjoyed the concept of the novel; however, I have read many novels that were very similar. The plot of the novel was a girl named Imogene who dreamt of her own clothing company. Though many parts in the novel I found the story uneventful. Many of the events that occurred were very repetitive and confusing. For instance, Imogene discussed clothes and what prints she like the best numerous times throughout the story. There were many instances of Imogene creating the clothes and the specific fabric she would use as well.

The diction used in the novel seemed elementary as well which became boring at times as well.

Editorial Reviews

Although there were many parts of this novel I didn't enjoy, there were some I did as well. I overall enjoyed the setting of the story very much. The characters had great relationships with each other and I found it easy to fully understand the story. The novel was easy to follow along with and the events were clear. I also enjoyed how at the end all the characters came together and supported each other. When your constantly around society and what the new trends are it can be difficult to stay true to yourself self.

In life it can be very hard but Imogene stayed true to herself throughout the novel. Imogene had a passion and love for fashion and throughout the novel that didn't change. Her classmates may have made fun of her at times but she knew that if she continued she would be happier overall. Imogene surrounded herself with the people she loved and the people that motivated her to do what she loves. To stay true to yourself, it is necessary to be happy with who you are and to have loving people around you.

In the novel Imogene portrayed a confident young girl with great friends around her. Overall I would not recommend this book to anyone, but if I had to I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys cheesy plots and fairytale-like stories. Teen girls or elementary girls may enjoy reading this novel the most. This book is relatable for them due to the school setting and the friendships.

There was a lot of drama throughout the novel which would be interesting for young girls to read as well. May 27, Kim rated it liked it Shelves: A girly read with fashion at its center. The way it was presented was quite different from the usual book with this premise. I can easily judge a book's likability just by looking at how long it took me to read it. Took me one full week for this one. One or two days or three if it's a thick one means the book was excellent.

More, just means it wasn't as much. It was diffe A girly read with fashion at its center. It was different as the boy element was not the premier one. She told us what was going on in her life but as if she actually was telling it third person. We need the sentiment that she's agonising or being completely obsessive about one thing. This story could have been more active had it been written third person with insight on what all of the characters are doing.

Because that Cinnamon person what's her deal? She was just there as an afterthought almost. Or just there to tell the fortune. Her importance is very diminished by her only three or four appearances. This was also too speedy, skipping big chunks of time. I wish it had covered either more time or been this speedy but in a matter of one or two weeks not a whole summer.

The sense of time was lost and confusing. That big friday event felt like it was going to be really soon like during the next few days but ended up being ages later. You'd almost forget it was important. I'd still tell you to read it and make up your own mind about it.

Years later the stories were manifested as she was exposed to a life foreign to what she had known; she lived for a time in France. Her book begins with a greeting full of warmth and warning: If he would used a more graphical approach, the emotional charge of the viewer would be impossible to bear and the taste of the entire film would be put in doubt.

And of course, kudos for the leading ladies. Sophie Marceau, the guilty one, and also the victim, was right in the money all the time. A great piece of acting in a long and solid career beginning at the age of thirteen in the successful film La Boum. And Miou-Miou, another wonderful trouper of the French cinema with 89 titles under her belt, was a perfect unmovable object for the irresistible force of the stubborn Sophie Marceau. It's a clash of two strongly determined women, that in the end, learn to respect each other.

In conclusion, an stirring story of a very much mistreated woman, seeking to put an end to her suffering that it has not ceased with the death of her nasty husband, and of a very cynical and weary police officer that learned something about herself in the process.
