Struggling to hold the fledgling production together, he juggles his duties to his “BFF,” the ruthless and vulnerable antihero Keisha Kash, his Supermodel boss and to his soul.

Advance Praise
"I clutched my pearls through this page-turning read that’s laugh-out-loud funny—she’s a ki-ki, darling! It’s equally heartbreaking, suspenseful, and always fast-paced. The category is: legendary."
-Billy Porter
"Jay has a singular voice which manages to be indulgent and gossipy, while still incredibly smart and sharp."
-Vanessa Williams
"Strap in for a wild roller-coaster ride. The twist-of-fate
ending is brilliantly written, leaving the perfect opening
for an outrageous, fun sequel."
-Julie Auerbach

Featured Reviews
The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown is so engrossing, you don’t want to put it down! Pablo Michaels’ experiences and dilemmas are really felt by the reader, who is rooting for him (we are all rooting for him!). Fans of the show, “America’s Next Top Model” will devour the book in one sitting, as it features numerous references to the show (including infamous quotes and certain scandalous situations). They will also have many questions for Jay Manuel regarding how much of the story is actually true and how much is fiction.
This feels more auto biographical than fiction. However, if your fans of the show that the author was on then you will absolutely love it. The introduction to the book gives you an insight. Jay was let down by many people and this is his way off setting his record straight.
The book is very entertaining. You’ll spot the the characters easily and you’ll take Pablo/Jay to your heart.
This was obviously something that Jay need to do and I certainly hope if won’t be his only foray into writing. I like his style and he’s a very easy read. Totally recommend this book.
Many thanks to the publisher , author and Netgalley for the arc in return for an honest review

If you're looking for drama this book is jam packed with it. Reality TV drama, friendship drama, celebrity drama and so much more! What starts off with an unlikely friendship between model and backstage worker, which quickly turns into a thriller. While Pablo's star rises, Keshia tries everything in her power to now let him surpass her. She is borderline psychopathic
I know this is fiction, but I couldn't help but feel like this is the authors way of saying all the shit that went down in his life. Or maybe an over dramatized version of ANTM in todays world. It was a little too much for me. A storyline or two could have been taken out, but overall it was an enjoyable and quick read!
3.5 stars overall. Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the copy in return for a review!
