Anythng can happen to anyone

This book was one of the better that I have read. It was about a girl named Alice, whose father had left and whose mother was always depressed. She lived in a small apartment and pretty much was a mother to her little brother Jamie. Her family had barely enough money for food. Then one day while she was helping a lady carry her grocery bags, the lady stopped her and asked her if she was interested in modeling. This was Alice's lucky day, I mean how many people get asked to be a model. This book was very easy to read. It shows that being a model is big comittment and definitely not an easy job. Alice had to make many tough decisions on weather to go to some modeling parties that she could get in big trouble for, or to keep a promise with her little bother. Ever since Alice became a model, she could never just act normal, she had to always load on the makeup and act different. Overall, this book, HIGH CHEEKBONES, was a great book for a teenage girl to read.

Well, I think the book was good because it talks about how Alice became a model. First a lady gave Alice a card for a famous modeling agency. So she took the card and she was very excited about becoming a model. She lives with her mother and brother. The family is on welfare because the mother is lazy to do any kind of work. I am not interested in modeling but the book I read was real good. Alice thought about alot of things like taking care of the house and her brother. All Alice's mom is thinking that she could take her money and spend it on herself. The point I am making is that that nobody should be thinking about themselves even when the money is not there.I also think that everybody should work together so they could save a lot of money so they could eat and buy each other things that they need.

It was a pretty good book in general

If you are interested in modeling, or just like that type of book it is a good book. I don't belong in the modeling part of life because I am not interested in learning about it, but I thought it was a pretty good book. It had really good descriptions and made you think.
