IN Catwalk, DEBORAH GREGORY creates a new YA series that takes her famously upbeat urban voice and combines it with the appeal of Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model. Catwalk follows Pashmina, Felinez, Angora, and Aphro, four best friends at Manhattan’s Fashion International High School who are about to enter the contest of their lives. Each year, students split up into Fashion Houses and compete to design, produce, and show fully original fashion lines. The winner gets a scholarship, a professional show, and a real shot at a career in fashion. Bouncy, smart, and nearly irresistible, Catwalk is a fierce introduction to a fashion world where fabulosity trumps waist size, and there truly is room for everyone.

Catwalk was a book that could've been a TV show especially with its reference to Project Runway and America's Next Top Model.



What I loved most about Catwalk was the fierce cat-like competition and the many fashion tips. Even though some of the tips were kind of...different, ones I would never use, they definitely were very interesting and provided a new perspective for me. It allowed me to appreciate more about modeling and such because it was all about the fashion industry and how tough it is to get into it.



Pashmina, the obvious main character, is a competitive person and has a strong personality. She is cautious and wary especially when it comes to choosing who's in her House of Pashmina. She is also very loyal to her three best friends, Felinez, Angora and Aphro[dite].



The ending was a definitely no-no. There was no real conclusion. It left you at a total cliffhanger and it seemed like the whole story was just a rising action. I felt like there was no real climax and no real conclusion [as stated before]. At the end of the book, I basically stared at it in shock, thinking: um, what happens next? 



The cover was really creative though especially with the cat ears and stuff. If you enjoyed watching America's Next Top Model, then you might like this book but if you get easily frustrated at the huge cliffhanger at the end, then don't read it. That's my advice to you.
