Amelia Blanco lives for fashion. Especially the designing part, her dream is to become a designer someday. But that world seems far away. In real life she lives at home in Miami with her abuelita and she helps her mom, who  is a cook for the wealthy the Laurentis family  The son of the Laurenti's is her boyfriend, and though their worlds are very different, it works.

And then her abuelita signs her up for a month-long fashion internship at a fashion academy in New York. There a whole new world opens up for her. People of her age who are just that into fashion as she is. And more important, she starts to develop her own designing style!By the time she returns to Miami, Amelia feels like she can accomplish anything, and surprises herself by agreeing to help Ethan's awkward, Steve-Jobs-wannabe brother, Liam, create his own fashion app. As Liam and Amelia get closer, Ethan realizes that this newly confident, stylish girl may be the one for him after all . . . even though he has a reality TV star girlfriend he conveniently keeps forgetting about. The "new and improved" Amelia soon finds herself in between two brothers, a whole lot of drama, and choice she never dreamed she'd have to make. 

Alteration is the perfect YA novel for fashionista's. But also if you are not that into fashion, this is a very cute read! The cover already sparks attention, you see the NYC skyline and stitching needles interwoven, what a great find!
The storyline was nice and cute. Amelia is a very nice and creative main character, her passion for fashion just sparks of the pages! What was nice was the different worlds that she and Ethan come from, I liked how the author didn't make him snobby, and their romance just worked, and it got a nice tension between the two brothers which was fun to read. It lived the story up and it never got boring, and how they where creating and launching the fashion app was just awesome!

A very nice novel filled with fashion, a fun storyline and characters, loved this one!
