This book combines personal stories with professional advice. The mix of personal and professional makes for an insightful and entertaining read.

Think Cutrone was always a power bitch? Think again. Cutrone went through a serious struggle before she got to where she is today. She went through a period of time where she struggled with a drug addiction, couldn’t pay her rent and had no job. This memoir-esque book explains how with the help of good friends, she got out of that dark place in her life and made a name for herself in the fashion world.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. As I’ve just graduated with a PR degree, this book was so interesting for me to read. I’ve loved Kelly Cutrone and her no nonsense attitude since I first saw her on The Hills a few years back. I obsessively watched her show on Bravo Kell On Earth, so it was clear that I needed to read this book. I devoured it in a day and a half, marked pages that I wanted to go back to and read and placed it on my shelf, ready to pick up again at any moment.

5/5 (haven’t given out one of these in AWHILE!)
