( ) I actually have no idea how I came to be in possession of this book, as it is not of a genre that I typically read, but LOTS of people give me their used books so, it could have come from a number of places. I was surprised to see that it is a LibraryThing Early Reviewers alum. At any rate, not my cup of tea. Modelling, fashion, hair and makeup - not things that I am familiar with or care about. I had a hard time keeping the two older sisters straight. When the POV changed, then the other characters all seemed to be action "out of character" - and not in a way that gave you added insight into them (i.e. how they see themselves vs. how the world sees them) - just like they were completely different people. I didn't think the writing was bad however, so might be of interested to people who care about the topics covered. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I'm not adding a star rating to this review, as I did not finish the book. I could not get into this story. The beginning of "Three Girls and Their Brother" struck me as an elaboration on a Star or People magazine article -- the content is fun in small doses, but I don't have the patience for hours of reading about it.Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. You know, I wanted to like this book - it seemed like it was going somewhere and I was going to like it. But nothing seemed to happen. The story is set in New York where the characters all have various "it" jobs - one sister is a model, mom is a former beauty queen, they attend the "right" schools. But really, I just didn't care. The characters were not interesting enough to keep my attention. On the one hand, the book could have been a lot lighter and been more of a easy read - or it could have gone the other way and developed some depth, but it did neither. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Now that it's all over, everybody is saying it was the picture -- that stupid picture was behind every disaster ... They may be the granddaughters of a famous literary critic, but what really starts it all is Daria, Polly, and Amelia Heller's stunning red hair. Out of the blue one day, The New Yorker calls and says that they want to feature the girls in a glamorous spread shot by a world-famous photographer, and before long these three beautiful nobodies from Brooklyn have been proclaimed the new "It" girls. But with no parental guidance -- Mom's a former beauty queen living vicariously through her daughters, and Dad is nowhere to be found -- the three girls find themselves easy prey for the sharks and piranhas of show business. Posing in every hot fashion magazine, tangling with snarling fashonistas and soulless agents, skipping school and hitting A-list parties, the sisters are caught up in a whirlwind rise to fame that quickly spirals out of control.
