Erin and Paige Forrester are back, taking their reality show on the road to the Bahamas Fashion Week. Paige is recently engaged to a famous designer, their mom is about to get married, and their show's producer has cancer. This is almost too much for Erin to deal with, and as she narrates through the struggles, she continues to turn to her faith to see her through. In this fifth book, Carlson continues the Forrester sisters' reality-show story, packaged in a quick read that will appeal to girls looking for fun, fashion, and faith.

The fifth volume in the On the Runway Series continues the saga of Erin and Paige Forrester, two teenagers who have scored their own TV show focused on the dynamic and fast-paced world of fashion. While older sister Paige thrives in the spotlight and exudes confidence, the younger Erin struggles sometimes to reconcile her worldly life with her strong Christian faith. Many of Erin's roles—her role in the show as well as in her relationships with her friends, family and coworkers—become a little more defined in this volume. Talk of clothes, accessories and fashion-world intrigue abounds, but it is overshadowed by more personal dramas, including a coworker's battle with cancer and a clash of morals between Erin and Paige, brought on by Paige's decision to allow her fiancé to sleep over at their apartment despite Erin's protests. Carlson's plot intimates that while Erin's strident opposition to premarital sex might not be popular, it is certainly prudent, since negative consequences befall Erin's sexually active best friend as well as her sister Paige. Though Erin may know how she feels about sex, there are definitely some moral gray areas having to do with honesty, loyalty and emotional intimacy that she contends with here. Good, clean, didactic fun for readers who like their LA Candy with a strong Christian flavor. (Christian chick lit. YA)
