3.5
I didn't know who Paulina Porizkova was until she appeared on the Red Table Talk to promote this book. I really liked her personality and knew that I would be interested in reading her book (particularly the audiobook).
I quite enjoyed the audiobook. I listened at x1.2 speed which seems closer to Porizkova's regular speaking speed. She shared really interesting stories about leaving communist Czechoslovakia for Sweden, her experience in the modeling industry (and the sexual harassment that would occur), and her seemingly amicable separation from her husband and rock star Ric Ocasek which was complicated by his untimely death.
I thought Paulina was a good storyteller. I really enjoyed listening to her stories via audiobook - it was like listening to a friend or family telling me their drama-filled life story in an engaging way and imparting some of their wisdom.
