Definitely worth reading, especially if you live or have lived in Manhattan and have any experience with models and a wild lifestyle...

Excellent contemporary literary novel, set in the fashion world of 1980s New York. Finalist for the National Book Award. Excellent choice for book groups, or for anyone who just loves a good read.

Not a quick read for me.
