Violet is back! She’s headed of to her freshman year at Vassar, and she is hoping to leave the modeling world behind once and for all. If only it was that easy. College life is great and she has unbelievably awesome new friends. But her phone is going off the hook constantly with calls from Angela her agent. Even though Violet may be done with modeling the modeling world isn’t done with her, she’s still under contract.
She still supports her healthy model lingo and she continues to get a bad wrap from her “extra pounds.” Violet writes an article for the school paper declaring her views and lands herself an internship at Teen Fashionista, working under Roger’s new girlfriend Chloe. Did I mention that Violet finally realized that she is in love with Roger. Makes things a tad bit uncomfortable to say the least.
Now that Violet is done modeling, she has to figure out who she is without it, all while staying true to her self image-- despite the constant ridicule. Can she sort through her boy angst and leave the model drama behind for good!?
Could it be possible for this series to get better as it goes along? I feel like I have a new best friend after I’ve spent all this time with dear Violet. I have to say that this was my favorite book of the series. I really hope that the series doesn’t end here. Although, I did talk to Melissa and she says it is....... unless the publisher asks for another. I'm devastated to say the least.
I think Violet became the person I always thought she was in this novel. Everyone has their insecurities, but I think that Violet finally came to terms with hers. I continue to love Walker’s writing, it just floats of the page it’s such a beautiful story. Could it be possible that she impressed me more?! Violet’s character is so realistically portrayed, I couldn’t help but feel her emotions as she felt them through the story. And that isn’t something that happens to me every time I read a book. I absolutely recommend this series. And don’t let the fact that it is about modeling and fashion turn you away. The story is about so much more than that.

Violet is back and she is not modeling full-time this time. Violet has finally decided that maybe modeling isn't what she wants to be doing. She finally starts at Vassar and she actually feels like maybe this is where she belongs but then things get crazy again.
Once her Mirabella Prince ad campaign comes out Violet is back in the spotlight, even at Vassar. Nobody believes that she can possibly have weight issues because she is so tiny but nobody else knows what it is like in the modeling world. To offset the publicity she is getting from the campaign, Violet decides to do a story for Teen Fashionista about the real Violet Greenfield.
The only problem is, that means spending more time with Chloe, Roger's girlfriend. Violet still doesn't know what to think about Roger after the kiss they shared in Barcelona and finding out that he was in love with her for basically their whole lives.
Will Violet be able to find her true self off the runway? Will she finally be able to settle things once and for all with Roger?
Violet In Private is the followup book to both Violet On The Runway and Violet By Design. I truly loved this book because Melissa Walker did a great job incorporating real feelings of every teenage girl into Violet. This is the last book in the Violet series that is out now but I don't know if Melissa Walker plans to write anymore. I would love to see a fourth Violet book sometime in the future, though.

I loved it! While it was a great conclusion to the Violet trio, I hope there's more in store for Violet.

***1/2 Teen supermodel Violet Greenfield is looking forward to starting college at Vassar and leaving her modeling career behind her, but she keeps getting dragged back into the public eye. Navigating an internship at a hip fashion magazine and in love with her best friend (who's currently dating someone else), Violet wonders if she'll ever find a place where she fits in.
This fun, fluffy read can stand alone even though it's the third in a series. I loved the details Ms. Walker provides about Vassar - it really made me feel like I was on a college campus - and the friends Violet makes are adorably quirky. I'll be looking for the others in the series.
Hand this series to your teen girls who can't get enough of America's Next Top Model and who want something a little more real than Gossip Girl.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy reading about Violet and her life. I know it took me forever to get to this one, but it was like reuniting with an old friend. I loved reading about Violet trying to sort out her high school life from her modeling life from her college life and still be true to herself. What fun!

Violet in Private was wonderful. It was the only way I could think of the third book being. Melissa Walker did an amazing job of keeping the characters the same and continuing the series nicely. I was so excited to get this book - I read it a while ago, actually, but I can still remember how I felt reading it, which is amazing.
One thing that I love about reading the Violet series is that I know the book will most likely turn out good. But I still feel whatever Violet is feeling at certain times. If Violet is depressed and doesn't know what to do, then I will feel that way. I will feel like there isn't a way for her to get out of her situation, that that is the end for her or her career, or whatever it may be.
I really can't find anything wrong with Violet in Private. There were a few grammatical errors, but I had an ARC, so I'm sure they were fixed for the final copy.
If you haven't read the Violet series, I highly recommend it. It is one of my favorite series out there right now. It really supports self-confidence, healthy body image, and just being yourself. The series really pushes just being yourself and it's a great message. Teens today need to realize that you don't always have to be perfect and you don't have to be like everyone else - it's okay to be a little different sometimes.

Once again, Melissa Walker has written an amazing book. I loved following Violet into college and her struggles as her modeling life and her personal life starts to clash. After all her experiences though, I expected her to be more mature with the whole not answering people's calls, but I guess it emphasizes just how lost and confused she can still be. She continued to be the role model that she was from the series, promoting a healthy image for younger girls. Despite her insecurities, she sticks to what she believes in and makes sound decisions about her beliefs. All it took was a little self-confidence and support from her old and new friends. It seems like the series has finally ended, but if Melissa Walker ever decided that there's more to Violet's story, I'll definitely be one of her supporting fans.
