Au revoir, NYC;
hello Paris!

That's right -- Imogene and Evie are headed to the fashion capital of the world. Armed with internships, petit fours, and beaucoup fashion sense, this summer is going to be beyond fabulous!

But what happens when the high-fashion models go on strike just days after the girls arrive? Couture week is canceled, designers are fleeing Paris, and Imogene's got a case of the gloomies.

That is, until the girls "discover" a mysterious, unnamed designer who just might lure fashion back to Paris....

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, Clean Fun with a Side of Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2017
This book completely charmed me. It was the (mis)adventures of Imogene, a fashion crazy teen, who has been sent to Paris by her boss to spot the latest fashion trend at the upcoming Fashion Week. When Fashion Week gets canceled because of a model strike, Imogene is in danger of being sent back home. (Tres triste!) A chance discovery prolongs Imogene's stay, but also kicks off a series of events that keep the reader laughing and turning pages. Except for a few slightly risque chapter titles, the raciest part of Imogene's life is a toe tingling kiss with a boy, Dax. Except for a few catty insults (from the Wolfe Pack, Imogene's adversaries) and a black eye given by a mob of fashion crazed socialites to a man who was chasing our brave heroine, violence is at an all time minimum. This is a charming, fun to read book that I recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun, light book to smile over.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the cover!
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2008
Don't be fooled by the cover,this book is not for young girls! The title and cover seem innocent enough, as is the subject matter, a teenager obsessed with fashion but unfortunately the author takes away the innocence of it's reader by suggesting sex has occurred in one of the chapters and also by having a chapter title as a play on the words 'premature ejactulation'. Not for anyone under 17 or 18! A shame, because it could have been a cute book for girls interested in fashion.

PROJECT PARIS (The Fashion-Forward Adventures of Imogene)
LISA BARHAM

Rating: 4 Enchantments

Imogene is back. This time she gets to spend the summer in Paris, working again as an intern at HAUTELAW and covering the much anticipated Couture Week. Well that is, until the models go on strike and all the fashion shows are cancelled. Imogene panics, knowing if there's nothing to cover, there's nothing to keep her in Paris - that is, until she stumbles upon a hidden stash of designs. She and Evie concoct a scheme to keep Imogene in Paris, covering the hot, new and not to mention elusive designer, Monsieur X.

The only problem, Imogene's not sure Monsieur X really even still exists and now her whole summer depends on that little piece of info not being found out.

I have to say I loved this book. It picks up a year after A GIRL LIKE MOI left off and Imogene is a little more mature and a little more experienced. Finally her dream of spending the summer in France is coming true. But when her dream summer is threatened, she'll do anything she can to convince Spring Sommer to keep her in Paris, overseeing the Parisian operation of HAUTELAW - which at the moment, doesn't amount to much more then checking in on the renovation of the houseboat that will serve as their offices.

Add in the appearance of Brooke and the rest of her Wolfe pack and Imogene's summer has the potential for disaster.

Imogene is back, after her introduction in  A Girl Like Moi: The Fashion-Forward Adventures of Imogene .

She is fabulous, as usual, and spending her summer in Paris with her best friend, Evie, and is accompanied by her cute little dog, Toy.

Don't think her summer is all fun and games -- she has her work cut out for her, by running Hautelaw Paris for spring. During her stay in Paris, her job is in danger when the models for fashion week go on strike and fashion week is canceled.

But then Imogene and Evie discover ''Monsieur X," an unknown fashion designer, get stuck in the middle of a counterfeit bag deal, and life gets even more hectic.

Read how Imogene gets tangled up in her own web of lies. Read how she saves fashion week, dresses to kill, and manages boys and lipgloss. Also, after she and Paolo are over, maybe there will even be a new summer love? Will Imogene remain composed, or absolutely lose it?

Find out in PROJECT PARIS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imogene's BACK
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2007
That's right, with more madcap adventure and couture challenges set against the backdrop (and romance) of the Eiffel Tower, Imogene, Evie, Caprice, Paolo...and Toy, of course, are poised to bring fashion back to the people when a super-model strike threatens to cancel couture week, the whole reason Imogene is in Paris in the first place.

What I most love about these books are Imogene's relentlessly positive approach to people, the world, and her own unique gifts. This book is as delightful as A Girl Like Moi, as laugh-outloud funny, and as heartwarming. Can't wait for L.A. and the next installment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2007
I don't give this book even half of a star.
I bought this book in the airport for a fun read. Bubblegum for the brain so to speak. It looked promising like the "shophaholic" series which was clever and well written.
Project Paris, however, was just the opposite. The heroine Imogene comes from a rich family (I'm guessing because I didn't read the first book) and that is how she could afford her designer clothes but she alluded to cash problems being solved through her softwear program.
The way the book is written makes Imogene sound like a thirty something, yet while she deals with her adult size problems, she also manages to sound like a teeny bopper with her her little isms. The author needed to pick an age bracket and write accordingly and consistantly within it. Overall, the book was horrible. I have to finish books I start, and this was really painfull to do in this case. It's 100 minutes and twelve dollars(CDN)I'll never get back. I woldn't recommend this to anybody. It looks to be tagged as a teen novel but it's in the adult section.
