I did not finish it, as I couldn't get into the story. It could be something about me, not the book...

[Jeremy Britton · Rating 2 out of 5]

Supposedly a thriller but was just an expose in modeling.

I don’t know what happened but partially through the book it’s like the author and narrator both forgot what was happening. Talking like teenagers, detailed sex scenes (I’m no prude, just don’t see the point when it gives nothing to the story). I was waiting for the whole world to explode at the end

Bad ending.
Only good thing about this book was the narrator. 😂

[Kim Bedelle · Rating 1 out of 5]

Utter drivel.

I wish I could give zero stars. Don’t do it - terrible.

Did this on audio and saw some bad reviews beforehand but don’t agree with them at all. Interesting plot, loved the backstory, the characters were believable
The only thing I would say it’s not really a thriller more a mystery but I still enjoyed it.

[Amanda Christine · Rating 2 out of 5]

I just didn't particularly enjoy it.

[Debra · Rating 1 out of 5]

I still don’t know what happened to Ewa Antol…am I missing something?

[SassyPestLady · Rating 3 out of 5]

I finished it and was not satisfied with the ending. Seriously it is as if the author just got tired and stopped writing. I felt as if it was the middle of the story not the ending.

Free on audible. Pretty realistic. Interesting insight into fashion in the 90s but would’ve preferred a bit more detail on that to be honest. Good for a free one.

This was such a good read! It definitely felt predictable but I was truly rivoted throughout this story. This would make an incredible movie.
