My next #audiobook! Im already on chapter 3 and im really loving it. Tyra reads it along with her mom and I feel like I'm getting to know another side to Tyra. I love #antm so this book is perfect and fun. Plus there is some great life lessons in there. #summerreads #carsareforaudiobooks

I love Tyra Banks so much and definitely have watched many seasons of ANTM, some more than once. This book was just super fun and shows you that it‘s okay to be yourself. I think Tyra is really just a smart and wonderful role model and I admire her a lot. This book just made me love her more.

I just interviewed Tyra and her mom and they used this as a prop in the video and then she gave it to me! She is gorgeous and wonderful.
