The second time around

I downloaded the audio version so I could listen to it at work with my co-workers. It is my second time following Estelle's journey and it was just as engaging listening to the story as it was for me to read. Elyse Osterhaug really brought the story to life, I could close my eyes and visualize Estelle's world. Highly recommend to any first time readers or repeat offenders.

Fantasic story!!

I think it is a story that needs to be told to alot of young girls that are following their dreams but get stuck between their families not understand and keeping a balance with self care and not allowing other to manipulate them and take advantage of them. It's a great book! I highly recommend it!!

I never even knew!

This audiobook is an eye-opener. A very fascinating story from start to finish. A great narrator in voice and tone. There is so much to being a model that I have never even considered.

Incredible Story!!

I am so happy I listened through this book - the storyline is absolutely fantastic and one of a kind in our day and age.

I listened through in one sitting (although I wasn't planning on it) because Adam Jay Ung does an absolutely amazing job at demonstrating the paradox of two contradicting cultures and how they cross and conflict each other in the paradigm of Estelle Li persuing her dream to be a top model.

The narration quality is also top notch, which makes the book that much more engaging. Absolutely loved it!

Very educational

I downloaded the top model on my iPhone Kindle, it is very educational and aware of the situation and how far people can go to get what they want, but Estelle tried to resist.... it is a very good read and I recommend it to my daughter.

A Shocking Story about the World of Modeling!

WOW,

What a riveting and interesting look into what it takes to be a top fashion model.

I was blown away by how this story kept me engaged and wanting more from start to finish, And I fell in love with Estelle right away.

I had no idea the modeling world was THIS intense.

Whether you have an interest in modeling or not, if you want to be entertained, shocked, and taken on a journey, I highly recommend Estelle Li and the September Issue!

An excellent read!

This is an intriguing story of a young Chinese American model doing what she can to make it in the tough world of modelling. She encounters obstacle after obstacle and perseveres to make it. The writing style is engaging and there are surprises around every corner. Highly recommend!

Beautifully descriptive

I was captured by this book the moment I started. Imagine listening to lines like 'she had the ability to stare into every soul through the pages of Vogue magazine.' The descriptions are so apt and tight that you can conjure the images in your mind. More than that though, this is an incredibly human story of a model's pursuits after perfection. It breaks your heart, but it is also illuminating.

Such A Great Book!

I love listening to stories of careers that I know little about, and this was truly a great story. I also was amazed at the way it as written. The author clearly took a lot of time on this book, and could help you visually see the story with their words.
