Although thousands of young girls apply to join the famous Towers Model Agency every year, legendary agent Gigi Towers selects only a half dozen girls โ the very luckiest โ to live in her house as she develops them for stardom. When Jane, Gigiโs plain and orphaned granddaughter, moves in with them, she may as well be invisible. But while Jane would give anything to trade places with the girls who claim all of Gigiโs attention, behind their perfect facades each girl hides painful secrets and crushing pressure to preserve her place in Gigiโs house.Among these are fiercely competitive Maya, the daughter of famously accomplished parents whose expectations of Maya are so high that the pressure drives her to the edge of her physical and mental capacity, and naรฏve Campbell, who struggles with her weight and is terrified that Gigi will send her home but who has nowhere to go. The most prominent of all is the exquisite Sophia, the agency's superstar who all the girls idolize and adore, but who lands the hardest when her star finally falls. Tenuous friendships form, but jealousy, gossip and cruel pranks lead to a shocking outcome forcing everyone, including Gigi, to question the steep cost of fame.
โA compulsive and page-turning glimpse into the ugly side of beauty that asks what the price of stardom truly is..โ ~ Natasha Boyd, USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of The Indigo Girl
โFuson has created an engaging world in Gigiโs town house, with well-developed main characters and a strong supporting castโฆwell presented in an enjoyable narrative that will easily hold readersโ attention.โ - Kirkus Reviews **
