Fashion, gossip and advice - the girl who gets the job will get to talk about it all on public television every week! That's the problem though: "the girl" - meaning only one of them will get the job! What all will they do to be sure they are the one who wins? Sabotage? Betrayal? Deceit? Yep! All of those are valid options when the price of not doing them is failure. Extra Notes: Each of the girls competing has their own reasons for wanting desperately to win: Jasmine & Camille need the money, and Alexis needs the chance to succeed at something on her own. Tameka wants the popularity it would afford her. This book also deals more with Alexis and the trouble with her parents - to the point where she is ready to give drugs a chance. It also deals with loyalty to family vs. friends when Alexis starts dating Jasmine's brother. This is the 3rd in a series where each book focuses on one of the ten commandments.
