Thrown into a world where she does not seem to belong, awkward fifteen-year-old Tookie De La Creme is invited to join the most exclusive modeling school in the world, where she must survive the beastly Catwalk Corridor and the terrifying Thigh-High Boot Camp in order to uncover Modelland's sinister secrets.

Though my vote for 2018‘s Worst Read Award 🏆 goes to Modelland. There were plenty of wtf moments that made me hysterically laugh out loud and probably had my neighbors wondering about the lunatic they live next to. As bizarre as the writing style may be; this wackadoodle book did get me through an intense and stressful drama going on in my life.

Thanks for the smize Tyra, but seriously don‘t quit your day job.

BookishTrish Oh this looks deliciously awful! 6y
SconsinBookyBadger @BookishTrish it‘s awful yet unputdownable! The weirdness of Modelland l struggled between giving a pick or pan rating. (edited) 6y

Hey everyone!

Do any of you live in McHenry County IL?
Would anyone be interested in joining an in-person book club?

I'm looking to be more social this year, and I promise I won't make anyone read Modelland!

What can I say about Modelland that I haven't already shared with you?
This book is bonkers. It is poorly written by a delusional egomaniac with the loosest grasp on physics and the English language. It was written on a Blackberry and reads exactly that way. It is a very bad book.
That said, it is a masterpiece of nonsense and absurdity.
If you have a few hours to kill you should pick this up (at the library) just for the experience.

In case we weren't already painfully aware that Tyra was working through some of her real life issues in this balls-to-the-wall bonkers book... she has one of her not-so-subtle fictional avatars paraphrase real-life Tyra.

Creamy REALLY hates when The Myrracle dances... because... idk... dancing isn't modeling?

Tyra never really explains why dancing is so bad. But it makes me think of how hard she was on dancers who competed on ANTM...

courtney The "495" at the bottom hurt me ? also...Creamy?! 8y
KatyAliceReads @Courtney the book is 569 pages long... Creamy is the protagonist's mother's name... short for Cremelatta. 8y

Oh did you think miraculously synced periods were a step too far?

Well, a statue just took away the models ability to menstruate so that they won't have an excuse miss photo shoots or fashion shows... well played Tyra.

I haven't finished the first page and it's already BONKERS.

I have a stack of books (waiting to be donated) that could qualify for #threwitacrosstheroom but in all honesty aside from never actually throwing a book the only book I can think of in recent history that mad me mad enough to consider throwing it was The Concubine's Daughter by Pai Kit Fai. I actually never finished the book and ended up giving it to my mother in law.#photoadaynov16

My choice for #threwitacrosstheroom is Modelland. I couldn't even finish it, because it was just so ridiculous. Tyra Banks should just stick to modeling.
