How Not To Be A Super Model
By Ruth Crilly
Genre:-Biography/humour
Pages:-384
Publisher:-Blink Publishing (Bonnier Books)
Blurb:-Join Ruth Crilly in this comic memoir as she teeters through the noughties and lifts the lid on her days as an international fashion model. Told with unparalleled wit and remarkable detail, this is a book for anyone who dreams big and aims high but never quite reaches their goal. At twenty years old, five feet eight and with boobs that were 'inconveniently fulsome', Ruth was not quite young enough, tall enough or wilf-like enough to ever hope for a meteoric rise to supermodel status. And yet her sheer optimism and questionable grasp on reality led her to abandon her law degree and begin a career with one of the biggest agencies in the world.
 Follow Ruth through a rip-roaring, hilarious decade of not0quite-making-it as a supermodel. Fuelled by little more than cigarettes and the stress of her spiralling dept she criss-crosses the world in pursuit of fame and fortune. But how far is she willing to go to for this wildly unrealistic dream?
 Bridget Jones meets the Devil Wears Prada, How Not to be a Supermodel is a time capsule of a book that dives into one of the world's most fascinating industries. Offering a glimpse into both the high glamour and juddering reality of s by-gone era, this comic memoir tackles the darkest of subjects with the very lightest touch and injects humour and a heart-warming honesty into a story that could have so easily ended a different way

My Review:-Ruth Crilly had started a law degree, until she sticks a photo of herself in a box in Birmingham and is scouted by one of the top agencies in the world. Ruth takes us on her journey on how modelling work was like in the noughties, to what it is now. She explains the good along with the bad sides of trying to becoming a model. Ruth knew it wasn't going to be easy, but this shows us just what it's like with traveling the world, magazines, clothes and outfits that she was expected to model. Ruth also shares the humour along the way. It is definitely is Bridget Jones meets the Devil Wears Prada.
