Description
Revenge, Scandal and the rise of a Supermodel.
A teenager growing up in a destitute and abusive family near the slums of Rio, Ronny dreams of one day becoming a fashionphotographer and travelling a world he’s only seen in the pages of magazines.
When Ronny is scouted after meeting his idol, star fashion photographer Santo Diaz, and offered a chance to walk the runway at Milan’s fashion week, he takes the leap, only to find himself propelled into a world he wasn’t prepared for.
From castings and photo shoots rife with abuse to drug fueled parties and their flock of celebrities, Ronny makes new friends and loses his illusions one after another, until he meets Ella, a sunny Australian model who encourages him to follow his dreams to become a working fashion photographer despite it all.
But as Ronny gets closer to Ella and sets onto a new path in life, tragedy strikes when Nick, a fellow model, commits suicide in opaque circumstances. Determined to uncover the truth behind Nick’s death and expose the perpetrator, Ronny must risk everything to expose the industry’s ugliest secrets…

This book takes you behind the curtains of the fashion industry. Young models (female and male) are abused physically and emotionally. Even though they will do anything to be discovered, they shouldn't have to. Although the storyline is good, I just found it went round and round at times. I would have liked there to be more of a romance between Ronny and Ella.
