“Alluring… the book rides the razor’s edge of dramatic irony. Readers will root for Rossi’s searching protagonist as she finds her strength.” –Publishers Weekly

In this dual-timeline novel, a model comes to terms with the manipulation she suffered early in her career from those she trusted the most, with an inside look at a high-stakes industry for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid.

In 1975, 13-year-old Birdie is discovered in a department store by legendary modeling agent Harriet. Birdie flourishes as a model—finally finding what feels like freedom in front of the camera. But at age 15, her career brings her into the path of a famous rock star, and the four years they spend together fundamentally change Birdie, her career, and her relationship with Harriet. In 2018, Birdie lives a quiet life in LA—until she receives an invitation to a celebration of Harriet’s career. As she struggles to unpack memories she’s long since tucked away, Birdie will have to re-examine everything she once thought to be true.
