I enjoyed reading this well-written and witty book. It's a book about someone, Zoe, who is "different". Being different means trouble. At best, you are left alone, on the outside, looking in, wanting to be a part of the normal ones, but never quite making it. So, here's a child that moves to a new country and goes on to become a model. It is funny but also makes you think as you watch her trials and tribulations, success and failure in a very demanding world.Will Zoe emerge unscathed?Will her family support her, or discourage her ambition? Will they help her or hurt her? Will you laugh or will you cry?. In this roller-coaster, evocative, "blast from the past" it is possible you will laugh a lot, cry a lot, smile a lot and think about the people in your life a lot too. Everyone knows someone like Zoe... This is a must-read. I highly recommend this book.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofLooking For Catarina: A Love Story From Santiago de Chile to Florence, Italy
