MEDIA REVIEWS
'A gripping,personal tale of fame and misfortune'-BBC Radio 2
'I loved the contrast of cosy Christmas spirit and gorgeous romance with the acerbic humour and grit you'd expect from a Juno Dawson novel' - The Bookseller
'Dawson has a gift for writing believable teenagers characters,and Meat Market is a powerful counterweight to light-hearted literature that still portrays modelling as the stuff of dreams'- The Guardian
'Juno Dawson slashes through the glamour of the fashion industry...combining blockbuster appeal with piercing commentary on modelling,body image and consent'- The Observer
'Well-researched and hard-hitting,the novel doesn't skimp on the glamour but neither does it skirt the darker side of fashion'- Financial Times
'An unflinching expose of the darker side of fashion'- i newspaper
'Having worked as a journalist on the fringes of the fashion industry,Dawson started to realise there were problems - namely,models were often very young,nameless and simply bodies who were not treated well by those around them. Meat Market is a gripping page-turner,an expose of the dark and often seedy side of the industry,addressing timely themes around #MeToo and #TimesUp.'- The Independent
