Meat Market by Juno Dawson

Meat Market – Juno Dawson

Read Aug 19 - Library

This was a great book. Juno writes great characters; everything was really well-researched, and I almost feel like I was there. Key word being almost, the made-up fashion brands and designers were a little jarring. More descriptive work could have been used on the settings, sometimes there wasn’t much distinction between locations. There were so many different characters that it felt like many didn’t get enough page time. Especially Sabah, I loved her! I also wanted to know more about Jana’s family and their history. I quite enjoyed the way Jana spoke; she was very authentic although I did rather detest her constant use of the word ‘aint’. The story within the story was very timely with current event and I feel like it was written very authentically. I also especially loved the end “where are they now” memos. It was kind of cute.

4/5 stars
