After winning the U.S. Girls modeling contest in Missouri – a contest she had no intention of entering in the first place, Leah continues on to sunny California where the top model will be chosen to represent the company. She invited the other three girls from Eight Prime – Melanie, Jenna, and Nicole. She and each of her friends left home on a bit of a bad note.
There was friction between Leah and Miguel when she left for the competition. Melanie and Jesse had heated words. Jenna had stuck her nose where it didn’t belong and had no time to resolve that with her sister Caitlin. Nicole faced ground-ation for an incident she reluctantly participated in at her sister Heather’s insistence.
Having no desire to participate in modeling other than as a way to receive a college scholarship, Leah is more than frustrated with all the hoopla surrounding it. She’s never been one for excessive primping and now she’s under lights.
Nicole believes that God made a way to launch her modeling career by this trip and does her best to show what she’s got as she plans to make herself visible in front of the judges.
Jenna desperately wants to see her new favorite Christian band that is playing at the same hotel she and her friends are staying at but how can she desert Leah when it’s Leah who invited her on this trip.
Melanie has had enough of Nicole and knows what she’s up to when she makes several trips by the modeling judges.
Clearwater Creek is a young adult series with themes young ladies often find themselves dealing with. However I find that things come too easily for the characters in this series such as issues being resolved. I also have to wonder where Nicole gets her money for her extensive wardrobe and shopping sprees. I’m guessing the issue of sex isn’t discussed in these books because these are geared for Christian girls. However ALL girls face this issue; Christian girls are no exception and they need to know how to ward off guys’ advances in a way to honor themselves.

Kindle version has a text error. The 2nd half of chapter 2 repeats for some reason.
