This book is an inspiration to every creative person out there who has a dream. As someone whose parents wanted nothing more than for me to go to an Ivy League school and follow them into the world of banking, I couldnt have identified more with Chloe. Although she loves her eccentric family and wants to please them, she knows in her heart of hearts that design school is where she is meant to be and that she must follow her passion. You dont have to love fashion or clothes as much as the reader or her main character does to like this book. The writer speaks to young girls everywhere. She writes with a sense of humor and incredible wit and I LOVED the glossary in the back of the book. I cant wait for the next book to see what happens to Chloe. Three cheers for Carrie Rosten!

So, my girlfriend forced me to read this, since she couldn't stop talking about the darn thing, and I have to admit, it was one of the most entertaining reads ever! And I'm a 17-year old dude! The characters are incredibly colorful, full of personality and quirkiness. As soon as pau-pau passed gas, I was rolling on the floor laughing my head off. And lets not forget the dog Wally who compulsively humps anything that moves when he gets nervous (which is a lot like some of my friends). The author was a genius for coming up with that bit. I msut say, it was awfully refreshing to finally read a character-driven novel. It is, after all, a book about people.

Chloe may not have styling superpowers but knows style when she sees it - and when she doesn't. I was struck by how cute and cleverly written this book is. Chloe totally reminds me of myself, even though I'm only 13 and she's 17. I aspire to be a fashion designer and I just loved reading this book and her plight to make this world a prettier place, one outfit at a time.

Carrie Rosten's CHLOE LEIBERMAN (SOMETIMES WRONG) tells of a high school senior whose entire life revolves around her interest in fashion. Chloe is half Jewish and half Chinese, hasn't applied to college yet, and dreams about going to design school in London instead. Her story is fun and whimsical.

This book is pathetic and very boring. There is no plot, whatsoever. Don't waste your time to read this book. I didn't even read the whole thing, because it was just too boring for words.
