This book is insane. I've heard a podcast where they talked about it and people are turning into parked cars and appearing in grocery store cash registers and there are only 7 famous people in the world and they all have super powers. I almost want to read it, but it sounds SO terrible I can't bring myself to read it.
"Banks has said that the inspiration for Modelland happened one day while she driving down on a street in New York City. She had been thinking about why supermodels are "super" and the idea of Modelland came to mind.
She wrote on her website, talking about the idea for the book:
"I’m always dreaming up ideas, like when the words “modeling boarding school” floated into my head while I was driving on the FDR highway in Manhattan. I wrote them down in a little notepad and, five years, thousands of pages and dozens of writing getaways later, I finally get to call myself the author of Modelland."
