-

(Quercus, £9.99) Model Emily got her big break in 2013 in the controvers­ial music video for Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines. She’s since come to see the exploitati­ve side of the modelling industry and society. Here, she tells of her bleak experience­s.

These well-written and thought-provoking essays are Emily’s way of reassertin­g control.
