Dear Double Team
Olivia Hawthorne - 2019
Twenty four-seven I had cameras and an entourage following me, recording me, growing my brand as one of the most successful models on Instagram. I was tired though, I had millions in the bank, I was surrounded by adoring fans and I was called the most beautiful woman in the world. But I didn’t have love. I felt like nobody really knew me. A chance at an old fashioned matchmaking felt too good to be true, but I thought I’d give it a try. What’s the worst that could happen? I’d have a cool Instagram story and something to blog about. I never thought I’d lose my heart and find myself and what that would mean for my brand. And I never could have imagined I’d get two for the price of one, but when I met Harrison and James Manchester, how could I possibly choose?
Why not have both?
