"The rules don't mean much to sixteen-year-old Bec Jackson. After being expelled from yet another boarding school, Bec is shipped off to Rome to intern for Parker Phillips, the editor in chief of one of the world's top fashion magazines. But when a mysterious accident lands Parker in a coma, former supermodel and notorious drama queen Candance Worthington takes the reins of the magazine. The First Lady is in Rome for a cover shoot, and all hands are on deck to make sure her visit goes smoothly.
Bec quickly realizes that Parker's "accident" may not have been quite so accidental, and when the First Lady's life is threatened, too, Bec is determined to uncover the truth. On top of that, Bec must contend with catty models; her new boss, Candace, who is just as difficult as the tabloids say she is; and two guys- a hunky Italian bike messenger with a thousand-watt smile and a fashion blogger with a razor-sharp wit- who are both vying for her heart.
Can Bec catch the person who is after the First Lady, solve the mystery of Parker's accident, and juggle two cute boys at the same time? Blonde Ops is a fun, action-packed romp through the hallways of a fashion magazine and the cobblestone streets of Rome."
This book was honestly better than I expected it to be. I chose this book to read on a long flight because I thought it would be entertaining enough to capture my attention the whole flight and it did just that and more. The lady in the seat next to me was trying to make conversation and I just wanted to keep reading. I couldn't wait to turn the page to see what else would happen and what Bec would discover next. Some of it was predictable and other parts not so much. I wish there was a squeal, I would run out and buy it right now. There is one thing that bothered me during the book and that was Bec's style. It bothered me because I was trying to picture her in my head and part of the story she seemed like a rough edge rocker girl and the next she was a girly girl who loved dresses and heels. Maybe I missed something in it.
Another thing that I thought was off was her hacking skills. It seemed like she was a pretty legit hacker in the beginning but they didn't really expand on it that much in the book. I would think they would have made her do more hacking then she did in the book. Even with those minor issues I apparently didn't get, I really liked this book. I think it's a great read if you are looking for a young adult book with some mystery.
