My mother bought this book for me when it first came out (1979). I have fond memories of my dreams of becoming a professional model when I was young. It was a realistic view into the “job”. It really opened my eyes to see that modeling was a lot more than glamour and fame. Betsy Cameron's photography was superb, as usual. What I remember most about this book was that Lisanne Falk was like every girl our age, so it was easy and exciting to follow along.

2 1/2 STARS!

This is, hands down, one of my favorite books of all time! I can't wait to read the second book, Reverse.

This book was a beautifully poignant, yet fast read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, the author's afterword was equally beautiful and evoked emotions that rendered me to tears. As much as I appreciate afterwords, that was certainly a first for me! I definitely recommend this one if you're looking for a quick emotional roller coaster ride. Right now it's available on Kindle Unlimited and the audible book is free to borrow along with it.

I love historical fiction and time travel romance novels, but I struggled to stay interested in this book for some reason. I'm sure many factors were due to my own personal preference, but the main thing I struggled with was the dialogue. Many words and phrases used by Chuck and Justin would most likely have been met with confusion by the residents of Galveston in 1900. I know this book is a work of fiction, but I just couldn't get past that. I did appreciate the decision made by the characters at the very end of the book. This book was slow in the first half and I almost DNF'd it, but I kept reading and it got better. However, it never totally pulled me in or redeemed itself.
