Blonde Ops by Charlotte Bennardo & Natalie Zaman


                                   
As you probably know by now, this is one of those fashion mysteries you've probably seen. And, right now, you must be thinking, "Seriously? This is so cliche Trisha." (This actually happened.) Please, don't run away. Instead, pretend you're on a bright yellow Vespa, holding on very tight to your handle bars because you're in for a wild ride. 

You're still here, right? Good, because next to you is a girl with bright pink and blonde hair, impeccable fashion sense, and tons of knowledge about technology. This is 16 year old Rebecca (Bec) Jackson. She was shipped to Rome as punishment  (I don't think it's even CONSIDERED punishment), to work at an intern for one of her mom's friends' magazine. Now, Bec can get herself into so much trouble. And, she caught between 2 guys. I mean, I get you kissing one, but the you go and kiss the other?! MAKE UP YOUR MIND SISTER!! So, not even 20 chapters into the book, and her mom's friend has a TERRIBLE accident. Not kidding. So someone else comes in. I'm not going to anything about this person because, well, it's gonna ruin the story somewhat. 

Okay, so there's a scooter behind you. On it is a girl and a boy. The girl's name is Sophie, and the boy's name is Kevin. Sophie is Bec's best friend here in Rome. Kevin is, well, let's just say he come's around in the end. Ok, back to Bec. See the guy she's holding on to?That's Dante. He is ONE of the guys Bec likes. Let's just say that he's the one I prefer over Taj (the other boy, who is very tech-savvy, like Bec. Coincidence much?)

Now, imagine getting a text that the first lady went missing during a photoshoot. Well, this wasn't exact;y how they found out, but, just imagine. So, know you have to race against the clock, travel in sewers, and hack cars (don't ask). While trying to figure out what happened to your mom's friends. 

I do want to say that Bec did come off whiny at times, and some of her reasons to people were very shallow, and didn't make sense. 




Overall, this book was much more that I expected, but left out some key details. It was enjoyable, but lacked a special touch.
