About this listen

Obsession, coercion, and blackmail?!

Estelle Li is a young and aspiring Chinese American model who’s equally vulnerable as she is strong and independent.

She’s willing to sacrifice everything and do whatever it takes to achieve her dream of becoming the next top model.

This sort of mindset is undoubtedly required to become a top fashion model, with competition high and opportunities few and far between.

But it comes at a high price.

Follow Estelle Li on her path toward stardom as she tackles personal and professional demons along the way.

Will she become the model she’s always dreamed of being? Or will the fashion industry chew her up and spit her out?

For any listeners looking for a story that encapsulates the experience of what it’s like to navigate the cutthroat world of modeling, you don’t want to miss out on listening to this book!

Prepare to gasp in shock and be left jaw-dropped as you journey through and witness what it takes to be a top fashion model through the eyes of Estelle Li.

My wife listened to this with me, she liked it alot.
It was well-written, with an incredible amount of detail of the modelling circuit in NY.
We listened to the entire book in a four hour car ride, with only one 15 minute break.
We really enjoyed this and would recommend it wholeheartedly.
Looking forward to book 2.

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.

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 story

I loved following Estelle on her pursuit to become a model. Her character is so relatable. I didn't realize how crazy modeling can be.

This book kept me engaged the whole time. I hope there is a second book because I will definitely get it.

Great Storyline That Will Keep You Hooked!

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!

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.

Clear and Coincise!

Really enjoyed getting to know the characters and the in-depth look into the modeling world. The narration made it easy to lose yourself in the story and leaves you wanting to know what's going to happen next. Would recommend and can't wait for the next in the series.

Great start to a modeling series

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.

The story just got better and better

A great inside look at the crazy standards in the world of modeling. A lot of the things in the story really shocked me. Lots of good drama with plenty of unexpected turns.

Exciting story!
