Uptown Girl will be written in her own words.
The book will feature over 100 photographs and pieces of Brinkley’s own artwork.
‘I wrote Uptown Girl to inspire readers to create the life they want, which is what I’ve always tried to do, not through fortune or fame, but by saying yes to adventure and trying to find the magic in every moment, no matter how big or how small,’ the star said in a statement on Tuesday.
Uptown Girl will hit shelves on April 29, 2025 and is now available for preorder, wherever books are sold.
The memoir will also cover the ‘betrayal’ she felt from her biological father.
And she will touch on her marriage to singer Billy Joel who was in his 1983 music video Uptown Girl.
Brinkley also touched on self help with her ‘unwavering belief in the magic and mystery of life,’ and then there is the ‘resilience and self-discovery.’
