Welcome to the world of modeling. Where you're expected to be on time, eat next to nothing, and pretend to like your job. Main character Elodie is an orphan whom I cared about in the beginning of the book but towards the last two chapters my care is non existence at this point. I found the secondary characters more enjoyable than the lead female. I had such high hopes for this book sadly they all deflated with no chance of coming back. I commend the author for doing her research and well written story.To be honest at the beginning of the book I was leaning towards 3 and half stars. The gradual sense of self worth rapidly decreased is one of the main factors the rating is where it's at. I found that I don't care about major brands in fashion being name dropped after twenty times. I understand their value and major part of the modeling aspect just didn't cut it with me. I know every job has a side that isn't often showed to the public. It makes me sad that I couldn't rate this book higher. I'm giving my honest opinion this book didn't do it for me.
