A quick, fun read.
Literary Treats
The world of high style is famous for focusing on fashions – not feelings. That's what makes Isabelle Lafleche's Bonjour Girl especially charming: Clementine's chic and timely adventures expose the grit behind the glamour, and paint a spirited and intimate portrait of fashion's enigmatic trenches. I only wish I had a book like this when I was growing up.
Jeanne Beker
The characters were fresh, the diversity plentiful, the surprises forthcoming, and the payback oh so sweet.
Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers
Clementine is a smart, strong female character who stands by her friends and stands up to bullies. The diversity of the characters (Caucasian, Asian, LGBTQ, disabled) will also be a strong draw to many different readers.
