    I had to sit with my thoughts after finishing my trip into the jungle. I’ve been waiting for this release since I first heard about it! So let me just say that what Kathy Ireland and RVD created here is raw, real, brave and oh so riveting! Just beautifully written! This was a wonderful romance with that great thrill ride included as you try to figure out what everyone is hiding! I loved how you got four points of view. Initially I wasn’t sure how it would go, but man it worked so so well! This may be a story centered around a group of four women, but the men in their lives were no less multi-faceted. I was immediately captivated by Drew, a pivotal character and whose point of view was oh so fascinating! Brittany, Everlee, Zoe and Danica. These four women, they were such a dichotomy of beauty, brains and strength. The friendship between them spanned so much and the loyalty to each other was everything. For all the strength they possessed, they also had so many insecurities and were living with secrets that haunted them. And oh the secrets! So many secrets that wove there way thru this tale. I couldn’t stop reading and couldn’t stop trying to figure out who each character was based upon! This tale of survival, friendship, grief, revenge and love wrapped its way around my heart! I’m so glad that Kathy found Rachel to tell this tale! It definitely shows the grit of the fashion world and of life, that not everything that looks beautiful is on the flip side. But that if you hold on to your beliefs and fight for what is real you can find love and happiness. Absolutely amazing read!!

    This new dynamic duo of amazing woman writing together a story based on true events and told by four different characters perspective is a phenomenal one. While reading I had to try to fact checked some of the situations and try to figure out what where the real events based on. It was such an amazing read, it sorts of combines fashion industry with politics and much more. As Danica, Brittany, Zoe and Everlee's story unfolds you will be exposed to drama, romance, secrets, lies, jealousy, tragedy and everything in between. Being a super model is not always what it seems from the outside and the inner circle gets even more complicated than you ever thought so. This very unique story is one you don't want to miss, Kathy and Rachel has given us a must read 5 star book, can't wait to see how far this story will go, I foresee a TV show, movie or something alike and I would be totally rooting for it, as I believe this story should be shared on a wider audience.

    I love the story telling format of this book. I love all of the different points of view, the quick pace to the story and the way Rachel has woven the past & present flow seamlessly. Every little girl wants to be a model or an actress (or princess) at one point in time. These four girls are living the dream...filled with drama, friendship, love, loss, loyalty, family suspense, deception...big city, big dreams, big heartbreak.
  • What a dynamic writing duo!

    This story tells the tale of four best friends, fashion models who fight to make themselves stars and supermodels. This story tells of the highs and lows of being a part of the world of beautiful people and ugly secrets.  This story tells a tale of how each girl overcame their own individual hurdles and tragedies to become both beautiful and strong, inside and out. This story is rich in visuals, I could "see" the streets of New York City, the runways of Fashion Week and the gritty apartments that housed the new girls. I could "see" the beauty in each character's face and the beautiful clothes that they wore. You are going to get all the feels with this story.  I was excited about the girls' successes, I was angry at the things and circumstances that were forced upon them at such young ages and I cried when I felt the loss, loss of their innocence, loss of their families and loss of the people they loved. I wept and I cheered. The flow of this story and interweaving of all the main characters storylines was smooth and just beautifully done.  You can tell that both Ms. Ireland and Ms. Van Dyken worked together tirelessly to make this an amazing story. If you are looking for a beautiful story of strength in faith, friendship and survival look no further than this!  So well done ladies, I tip my proverbial hat to you both!

    Kathy Ireland and Rachel Van Dyken regaled us with a tale of what happens behind the scenes in the fashion industry. Some of it is fiction and some is the truth but it really shows how much everybody’s worth is measured in a currency of secrets and who you know. There are hard topics that were handled brilliantly. This book will reel you in and consume you in the best way and keep you waiting to find out all the secrets and how everything comes together. This book surprised me in the best way with all 4 point of views and dying to know what was going to happen next.
