Product Description
Supermodel Carol Alt brings the inside world of high-end fashion modeling into dazzling focus—with a fabulous novel about what it takes to get to the top...and stay there.
Plucked from obscurity, beautiful Melody Ann Croft is making her way up the industry ladder. But Melody Ann is gone...in her place is "Mac" and with her looks, brains, and drive, she may well be on the brink of becoming America's top model. Suddenly Mac's seeing her name in the tabloids, being wooed by billionaire businessmen...and sharing intimate late-night dinners with movie stars. And she's discovering that the supermodel life isn't all fluff and glamour. It's long hours, hard work, and even harder choices—like choosing to starve or to never work again.
But does Mac have what it takes to be super? Because deep down—behind the perfect body and million-dollar smile—she's still the same hometown Melody Ann she's always been....

This review is from: Model, Incorporated (Paperback)
MAC is back and ready for her close-up.
After nine months full of turmoil, MAC, formerly known as Melody Ann Croft, is ready to be the top model in the industry. She's done fashion week in New York and abroad and has even appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. What's next for the most wanted face in the modeling world? Of course, that would be the coveted partnership with Cover Girl. MAC has already been starving herself to keep her bookers happy and she's starting to feel the results with dizzy spells and hunger pains. But the model life is so great. Especially meeting all of her admirers. A chance meeting with older Hollywood heartthrob Patrick Carroll leads to a short-lived relationship, but it's not until MAC meets Jim, an insanely rich real estate mogul, that MAC thinks she has found the guy for her. But what does he really want from her? She's tired of being his arm candy and tired of his controlling ways. All MAC really wants is to be the next face of Cover Girl, and she is willing to do anything to get the lucrative contract. MAC's rise in the modeling world is too fast-paced and her affairs with older men are too numerous for just one book, but overall MAC is likeable and you can see traces of her in all of the models out there today, trying so hard to please everyone and succeed that they forget to care for themselves in the process.

I so didn't want it to end there...,
By F. Alt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Model, Incorporated (Paperback)
I loved this book. You can really get inside the Mac's head; it reads more like a memoir than a novel.
I kept wondering why there are so few reviews here. I think I know. I read it months ago, but could never bring myself to write a review. My problem: The book left me hanging. I was soooo mad. The story took me to a new place in MAC's life and I wanted MORE! Okay, so it forces me to buy the next one...thing is, I hate the wait!! Yes, read this book (!) but get a publishing date for book three! The ending of 'Model, Incorporated' will leave you hungry for the next phase of Mac's life. |
