A Model Summer
A Model Summer - Paulina Porizkova
If you were a teenager in the '80's, you probably remember Paulina Porizkova. She was a gorgeous model - she did the Estee Lauder wedding dress perfume ads (I think the scent was Beautiful) and she even appeared in Her Alibi with Tom Selleck that had the funniest bow and arrow scene (funnier than the one in Emma). And now she's written a book about a teenager becoming a model in the '80's. I signed this out from the library because I read a review in Entertainment Weekly that suggested the writing was good. They were right. The story is perfectly plotted and paced, and you ache each time the heroine makes a bad choice, even though it seems impossible for her to do otherwise. I recommend this to anyone who ever fantasized about being a model to get back at all the people in high school who made you feel miserable - apparently, the revenge isn't all sweet.
