About this listen

At twenty years old, five feet eight and with boobs that were 'inconveniently fulsome', Ruth was not quite young enough, tall enough, or waif-like enough to ever hope for a meteoric rise to supermodel status. And yet her sheer optimism and questionable grasp on reality led her to abandon her law degree and begin a career with one of the biggest agencies in the world.

Follow Ruth through a rip-roaring, hilarious decade of not quite making it as a supermodel. Fueled by little more than cigarettes and the stress of her spiraling debt she crisscrosses the world in pursuit of fame and fortune. But how far is she willing to go for this wildly unrealistic dream?

Bridget Jones meets The Devil Wears Prada, How Not to Be a Supermodel is a time capsule of a book that dives into one of the world's most fascinating industries. Offering a glimpse into both the high glamour and juddering reality of a by-gone era, this comic memoir tackles the darkest of subjects with the very lightest touch and injects humor and a heartwarming honesty into a story that could have so easily ended a different way.

I had the best time listening to How Not to be a Supermodel. I finished the book in 3 days and it felt like I was spending time with that one friend who always has the funniest stories. Ruth is such a talented, entertaining story teller. I was laughing the entire time. Her positive, hilarious spin on being a model was so refreshing. I’m currently listening to the book a second time and am anxiously looking forward to more of Ruth’s books. (Please, Ruth!) She could write about any subject matter and make it fascinating and highly entertaining.

I’m going through withdrawal after finishing this book!

How have I not heard of her before?? She is hilarious! Her stories are entertaining already but the way she writes them! Shes got a gift. And her narrating is so effortlessly comedic. I think I would be happy listening to her read me appliance instructions. Loved this book so much and all the lols I had during it. Will definitely be looking for all other writings of hers online.
