review 1: When I discovered this book I had to read it! I'm a closet ANTM addict :) Braless in Wonderland takes a look at a girl who gets sucked into the world of modeling. Alle Rosen planned on spending the last half of her senior year studying like crazy to raise her GPA in the hope of getting as many scholarships as possible to help pay for Yale. Being accidentally discovered at a mall was never part of the plan. Allee learns that models may be made of sugar and spice and things not so nice. This is really a book about a girl overcoming her preconceived notions. Many people (even today) have the idea that models are all "fluff", including Allee. Throughout the book this notion is constantly challenged. Allee will see that not only do models have something going on upstairs, but t... morehere is also a darker side. Underage drinking, partying, drug use, and the question of compromising morals are all tackled in Braless in Wonderland. I must say that I enjoyed this book more than I originally thought I would. Allee was a character I really liked, but her roommates really add dimension to the story. Braless in Wonderland really surprised me! I wasn't expecting that ending and all though this is a stand alone book (as far as I know) I would love to see a sequel! This book does have some "mature" themes as mentioned above.
review 2: Allee Rosen had dreams of Yale. The high school senior, overachiever, and brainiac couldn’t wait to submerge herself in a world of intelligent college scholars. So, when she’s forced to drive her sister to a casting call at the local mall, Alle feels she’s been dropped down the wrong rabbit hole when she’s the one who’s “discovered.” Realizing that the modeling money could ensure she’d be able to afford Yale, Alle accepts the job and moves to Miami. Before she knows it, Alle is living the good life as the next It Girl on South Beach. When her acceptance letter from Yale arrives, she’s forced to reevaluate her dreams. Taking advice from the Cheshire Cat, Alle decides which wonderland is truly best for her. This fun-filled book is the debut novel from Debbie Reed Fischer. Her second novel, Swimming with the Sharks, is also out. less
