America’s thirst for all things model related will be quenched with this juicy novel about a young Wisconsin girl who is discovered during a graduation trip to New York City, by the author of the hit novel-turned TV show Younger. The Reasons Amanda's Graduation Trip to New York City is About to Change Her Life Forever:
- Back home in Eagle River, Wisconsin, you don't see many Hideously Ugly Hooker Shoes.
- Here in Manhattan, you might just be walking down the street and get offered a top modeling contract—on your very first day!
- Her girlfriend Desi knows all the hippest vintage clothing stores—and where to buy a Marc Jacobs knock-off bag for $20.
- Cannoli, cappuccino, tapas, knishes, gnocchi, chimichangas, samosas, and several hundred other unpronounceable but thoroughly delicious foods you can only eat when you're six feet tall.
- Her sweetheart of a boyfriend, Tom, secretly promises they'll get married as soon as she comes home—but she's suddenly not sure when that will be.
- She discovers that her mom (who owns Patty's House O' Pies in Eagle River) knows how to speak French—and isn't saying where she learned how.
- She finds out that the man she thought was her dad isn't her dad.... With the skewering eye and sharp humor of The Devil Wears Prada, Pamela Satran's wonderful Midwest-girl-in-the-Big-City novel is a delightful fairy-tale tour of Manhattan's modeling world—and a poignant adventure of self-discovery.
