Release Date: November 2010
Synopsis:
Smile For the Camera is a true story of escaping abuse in a small-town to encounter more in the big city and the way one girl overcame them both.
Thoughts:
Isn't that cover gorgeous?!
I found the story to be very interesting, but I could not get used to the author's writing. It just was not for me and had too slow a pace for me to love it. Either way, I still enjoyed learning about how fascinating it was for 16 year old Kelle to go from living with a dysfunctional family all the way to NYC and to realize her dream of modeling. For her, as well as the reader, things in NYC start off very slowly, but they gradually begin to pick up. I thought it was so nice that she met her friend Rayna. I loved her quite a lot and I HATED a few of the folks because they were horrible people. What makes the book even more compelling is that Kelle met a man that ends up going to jail. His name is Buddy and there's a little bit of a mystery in the book about him. Sadly, we don't get too much information on that, just like in real life.
I think the thing I liked the most about this read was Kelle's attitude. She is quite the pistol and as she says, unfortunately, she was naive when this all occurred, thankfully that attitude and way of thinking seemed to come in handy. Of course I also adore that her dream came true! That is just ... so great! And wow, she is very beautiful then and now:
Oh look, here is Rayna. She is also very lovely!
