Worth Reading For Modelling

This book is mind blowing to me as I had no idea how challenging the modelling industry is like that. To me I thought it is a matter one shining out according to their talents. It is emotional reading this book as I get to relate with some of the happenings being an African immigrant.

Couldn’t stop listening

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging story about the character in the story, Estelle, who pursues her dreams to be a top model no matter the cost. It’s sort of an ugly look into the modeling and beauty industry, which took me by surprise because it always sounds so glamorous. Hearing this story makes me understand why there are so many self-image issues in the world today, why people grovel to look a certain way, and do anything to reach that goal. Get this one - you won’t be able to stop listening!

Great story

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It was actually for my daughter, but we started listening to it together, and it became a thing for us to do while driving or walking. Good story, with well-developed characters, and it moves nicely. my daughter loves everything about the fashion world, so was really happy listening to it.

Great book and insightful!

Not my usual genre, but thought I would try this one out. I would not trade for a life in the modelling world! But a good book, good story and kept me entertained :)

Clear and Coincise!

The audiobook is clear and easy to follow. Estelle Li is the perfect size by the world standard, she is independent and really wants to be a model. A great passion she followed through. She was willing to do whatever it takes which is what is needed to be a succeful model. She is a Chinese immigrant who started working in a restaurant as a waitress in a busy place in America. Her father forced her to learn the piano but she pursued her dream.

Captivating

This book kept my interest the entire time, so I finished it in one sitting. It's enlightening to discover a book with a sympathetic character since the tale is original. In order to fit under the constraints of two separate cultures with disparate values, Adam was able to eloquently convey the stresses and sentiments associated with pursuing ambitions. A interesting trip to read, the book also portrays the difficulties one could have as an immigrant child and places it all in the context of modelling. Looking forward to reading more from author Adam Ung.

The story just got better and better

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Such an eye-opener. It is not surprising as we know the rumours behind each of every top model and Hollywood stars’ success but it still shocks you as you hear the very story of a real character who had been through it all. Inspiring story, engaging narratives. To everyone who’s aspiring to be a star, listen to this first. 😉 Watch out for Franky D.

Drawing back the curtain!

I have always enjoyed watching tv shows such as Britain's Next Top Model. This story has been expertly weaved and I liked that I could visualise the characters clearly in my mind. It's nice just to relax and step into a world I have never experienced in reality. It certainly seemed that modeling was not an easy choice it seems on the surface, but that the central protagonist was determined to succeed. This was a nice audiobook to listen on a walk.

Interesting listen about modeling

People often assume that models have it easy. After all, they get paid to travel the world, wear beautiful clothes, and pose for pictures. And while it's true that models do get to experience some amazing things, it's also a lot of hard work. This book goes into the challenges and requirements that young women go through to be a model. It was a good listen, and I gained a lot of insight into the industry. You can feel the pressure and the torment that the main character went through on their journey. Entertaining and well done.
