Four girls have four dreams. Crow is on the way to becoming an international fashion designer. Jenny's been discovered by a Broadway composer. Edie still wants to go to Harvard. Nonie ... isn't really sure, but knows it's something fashion-related and wonderful. They're growing up and on the brink of glittering careers. So why are their lives so complicated? Why does success demand sacrifices, and which ones are they willing to make? In this, the final book of the Threads trilogy, Nonie discovers that life is just beginning. The girls have choices to make. Who will wait for fame? Who will emerge an outright star? Who will fall in love? And who will turn her back on all her dreams? This time the answers are in New York. It's a long way for Nonie to travel, especially with only one teeny-weeny wheelie bag. But for the sake of her friendships, Nonie will do whatever it takes.

Sophia Bennett keeps the loveable tone of the past two books but adds a touch more real life to it - stress, essentially. This does not make the book less enjoyable though! I was close to tears several times during the book.
Now, I am a person who really loves the fashion industry, and would find it pretty cool to get a job in the industry, so this series has been a gem to me - so unrealistic to me (12 year old designer, 14 year old planning the fashion show?), but really enjoyable to read.
Bennett's writing is fantastic, full of description and I can totally relate to exam stress, it makes it SO much more realistic with the added pressure in this book! Nevertheless, I love reading her books, I love love love the writing style and quality, and I love how she has developed the characters from young teens to young adults.
Nonie is just as sarcastic as she used to be, but she seems a lot more mature in some aspects. It took her a long time to realise that she should be focusing on school work, but hey, everyone has an element of procrastination in them.
Jenny, whom I thought was really shy/awkward in the first novel, in a good way - it was really contrasting to see a more reserved "star", is now a fully fledged Hollywood star, with the drama to match. Cliche? Not so. She is full of secrets too, and it was really interesting to find out more about her family life.
Edie... wow. After book two I thought she couldn't get more generous, but she outdid herself. I am facinated by her perfectionism, and was shocked by some of her actions in this book.... SO fun to read - like I said, I was close to tears!
Ultimately, the characters have grown up, and matured a little. They are more developed than in the first book, and it's really nice to have read all three and seen them essentially "grow up".
Now, I couldn't write this review without mentioning Crow! Aww she is so grown up, and when I found out she was 15 in this book, I was both happy and sad at the same time! I couldn't believe she was such a grown up girl already :') She definitely was developed well to show her growth. She had definitely changed in the aspect of attitude, and action. It was very realistic in the way.
Overall, for fans of the series, this is an absolute must read. For people who aren't fans of the series, this is an absolute must read. For people who have not read the series, or not heard of it, I thoroughly recommend! You may expect a happy ending, but don't go counting your eggs if you don't have chickens!

My 13 year old daughter who I bought it for said it was slow and difficult to get into she was disappointed as she loved the first 2 books
By Slummy mummy
Format:Paperback
yep, this is a series of books we happened upon by accident and have been great to energise 12 year old daughter's reading. They mix up the interest of fashion and girls pursuing their dreams with social issues and a multi-racial background without bringing in inappropriate adult content - my daughter really raced thru these and I was happy with it.
