COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Realistic Fiction submitted by monkk on June 19, 2013, 11:06am Paulina Porizkova draws upon her experience as a young model to tell this fictional story, and for that reason it is very believable. Slow in parts, but if you ever wondered what it would be like to break into modeling, this is a good read.
