Synopsis

Beating 12,000 other girls to become the newest model on Fierce's books is Laura's dream come true. But she knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. She's gorgeous - everyone thinks so.

But when the thrill of winning fades, Laura is alone in London, in a shoebox bedroom with three fame-hungry flatmates. Being beautiful isn't enough now ... not when her booker thinks she's way too fat, and her devoted boyfriend isn't the rock she thought he was. Laura's got to make some difficult decisions. And time is running out...
