Jana Novak's history sounds like a classic model clich: tall and gangly, she's uncomfortable with her androgynous looks until she's unexpectedly scouted and catapulted to superstardom. But the fashion industry is as grimy as it is glamorous. And there are unexpected predators at every turn. Jana is an ordinary girl from a south London estate, lifted to unimaginable heights. But the further you rise, the more devastating your fall ... Honest and raw, this is a timely expos of the dark underbelly of the fashion industry in an era of #TimesUp and #MeToo. It might just be Juno Dawson's most important book yet.

Hi @veritysalter @Powered_By_Plants @Mrs.B the book arrived today but I've discovered a slight problem. I've been annotating with a red pen & pink highlighter but Kelly is also using a pink highlighter. I'm going to just underline with the red pen from now on but wanted to give advanced warning!

Mrs_B Thanks for the heads up! Bedlam arrived today, I‘m looking forward to it! @veritysalter have either of you heard from Kelly? She doesn‘t seem to have been on Litsy in a while. I‘m a bit worried. I‘ve dropped her an email but haven‘t had a reply yet. 4y
jenniferw88 @Mrs_B I haven't, but considering that I now have her book I'm not too worried at the moment. If @veritysalter hasn't received the next one, however, then it's time to worry! 4y
Mrs_B Do you think I should hold off sending the next one (crippled) on to her for now? 4y
jenniferw88 @Mrs_B maybe leave it until next week? We don't want to leave it to late for her to annotate, but I try not to send / didn't send until nearer the end of the month / beginning of next. 4y
Mrs_B 👍 4y

Thank you so much @Powered_By_Plants I loved this book for our #lmpbc I found myself highly invested in the characters and their fates. A novel that explores the less glamorous side of modelling and the exploitation of women and girls. It‘s on its way to you by Royal Mail First Class @jenniferw88

“ I have no intention of walking for them . I will turn it down if they offer it. They can f**k right off. This whole thing can f**k off. For something all about beauty, it‘s so bloody ugly”

Really starting to get into this one now .

Have no idea where half of March has disappeared too but on track to get this posted in time 😅

This tackles so many massive issues head on & in such a positive way. As a YA book, it made me consider and question the level of responsibility YA authors have for their target audience. I tried to imagine how much this book would have meant to me if I was reading it as a young woman today (a great deal) and, if I were the mother of a young woman, how terrified, but fundamentally delight I would be if they read it too.

I loved this realistic and perceptive story about 17 year old Jana who is unexpectedly scouted to become a model. Full review on my blog now if you fancy reading 💗

I received this e-arc from Netgalley. My review is my own honest opinion.
