I thought it was a really interesting insight into the modeling industry and all that happens behind closed doors. The overaching story of growth and acceptance fills you with hope and yet you’re hurting for the past version of her who had to go through all that trauma. Beautiful.

I love a good memoir and Ratajkowski delivered in this book. I checked out the audiobook from my local library so I was able to hear her tell her story. The vulnerability that Ratajkowski has while detailing her life and her career as a model is deeply moving and beautifully written. She was also one of the first people to really detail for me what it feels like to be an only child within the context of your parent's marriage. Her discussion of how she navigated familial dynamics while pursuing her own life was something that I really admired. 

I also really appreciate the reflections that she had about her career and I think this work really highlights something that we as a culture are now coming to grips with. How women were treated in the press in the early 2000s and how that time set particularly harsh health and beauty standards for women. Obviously, there are still a great many problems in this area, but Ratajkowski's open discussion of the modelling industry and how she struggles with reclaiming her own image when it has been used in hundreds of campaign ads is really inspiring.
