Synopsis:
“I'm dying to be beautiful.”
My story isn't unique. You've heard it before. I'm just a
girl who doesn't eat as much as she should. See, I have goals, big ones, and
nobody is going to stop me, not even a boy named Emmett. He has good intentions
and he's hot as hell, but he doesn't understand what it's like to want something
so bad that you'll do anything for it. I'm going to become a model, even if it
kills me. Dream big or go home, that's what they always say, right?
PAINT ME BEAUTIFUL ON GOODREADS
It is about
Claire Simone who is bound and determined to be a model and make it big. She’s convinced that her size two frame is
not good enough, and she will do anything to keep food from entering her
mouth. When she meets Emmet Sinclair,
her world changes for the better; at first she’s afraid of her feelings for
him, but she can’t seem to keep away from him.
What she doesn’t know at the beginning is how important he is to her
life.
Throughout
the book, Claire becomes more and more obsessed about her weight, and becoming
increasingly anxious about the food she’s eating. Her family knows something is wrong, but
she’s managed to keep them at bay with excuses.
Her older sister Marlena seems to see her little sister withering away
and mentions it to her parents. Because
of this, Claire makes some decisions that impact her life. And not for the better.
When she
goes to see a designer for a fitting, little does she know just what this one
appointment will do to her. She starts
obsessively exercising, drinking nothing but water, and eating no food at
all. She doesn’t see how skinny she is;
all she sees is how fat she is, and where she can lose more weight. I found it scary that someone can be that
obsessed about their weight, and have such a skewed vision of their body
image. It was sad to see her putting
herself and her body through this, and all I wanted to do was hug her.
My concern
with Emmet was that he didn’t seem overly concerned about her lack of
eating. Throughout the book, you know
she isn’t going to get better without some kind of professional help. She loves that he doesn’t judge, that he’s so
easy going with her. He’s worried about
her, but I felt that he should have been more concerned regarding her
health. They also had a whirlwind
romance, which I thought was a bit rushed, but it can happen! They loved each other, and because of that I
felt he should have been more concerned for her. She was slowly killing herself, and he wasn’t
really doing anything about it.
I really
enjoyed this book. I loved the chemistry
between Claire and Emmet, and I loved that he was there for her no matter
what. Whenever she needed him, he was
there to pick her up and take her home.
He was her rock when she desperately needed one.
I can't wait to read the next one to see that she makes it through ok!!!

THE AUTHOR:
AUTHOR BIO:
C.M. Stunich was raised under a cover of fog in the area
known simply as Eureka, CA. A mysterious place, this strange, arboreal land
nursed Caitlin's (yes, that's her name!) desire to write strange fiction novels
about wicked monsters, magical trains, and Nemean Lions (Google it!). She
currently enjoys drag queens, having too many cats, and tribal bellydance.
Always a fan of the indie scene and 'sticking it to the
man,' Ms. Stunich decided to take the road less traveled and forgo the
traditional publishing route. You can be assured though that she received
several rejections as to ensure her proper place in the world of writers before
taking up a friend's offer to start a publishing company. Sarian Royal was
born, and Ms. Stunich's books slowly transformed from mere baking chocolate to
full blown tortes with hand sculpted fondant flowers.
C.M. is a writer obsessed with delivering the very best and
scours her mind on a regular basis to select the most unusual stories for the
outside world.
