      At first I had a really hard time with this book. I almost put it to the side without finishing it because the first third of "Beauty, Disrupted" is really painful to read. Carre Otis endured so much physical as well as emotional traumas at a very young age that I just felt really heartbroken for her. Even though she achieved great success in her modeling career her life was anything but glamorous from the inside. It included the typical aspects of the modeling industry: money,fame,sex and drugs. But definitely not happiness.Half way through this book it actually became much more inspirational and positive. Otis turned towards Buddhism and a spiritual practice which turned her life around. It was wonderful to read about her transformation from a weak and unsure young girl to a strong and powerful woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to speak up about important issues.
    • 3/5
      The autobiography of Carre Otis, model, actress, alcoholic, drug addict, wife of Mickey Rourke, and abuse survivor. Truly there is something disturbing about the fact that so many beautiful people are so messed up. This was not an easy book to read because of the subject matter, but Otis is a sympathetic subject and you find yourself rooting for her by the end. She is a little flaky (perhaps more than a little), but she is likable enough to make a compelling read.
