Mr B's review

For fans of Lottie Brooks and Geek Girl, Tamsin Winter writes coming – of – age in such a brilliant, accessible and funny way. Any of her books could fit on this shelf.
Eva is sick of her parents Youtube channel, especially when her first period is broadcast live for her entire school to see. She will take down her parents youtube channel no matter what! – Hannah

Description

What’s it like to grow up online and have every tantrum, every spot – even your first period – broadcast to hundreds of thousands of followers? A funny and heartfelt novel for fans of Geek Girl, from the award-winning Tamsin Winter: “Fast becoming a favourite for younger teenagers.” The Observer

Most parents try to limit their kids’ online exposure. But not Eva’s. Her parents run a hugely successful YouTube channel, and Eva is the star of the show. But Eva is getting sick of being made to pose in stupid mum-and-daughter matching outfits for sponsored posts. The freebies aren’t worth the teasing at school. And when an intensely humiliating “period party” post goes viral, Eva is outraged. She’s going to find a way to stop the channel, even if she has to sabotage it herself.

Publisher Review

Highly relatable, balancing slapstick sequences with moments of real poignance. * The Observer * Winter’s funny and thought-provoking third novel vividly evokes the sense of powerlessness and exposure on the flip side of viral fame. * The Guardian * A shrewd examination of online lives and how we create our identities * The i * Tamsin Winter is fast becoming a favourite for younger teenagers. * The Observer * A funny but thought-provoking – and at times cringe-inducing – dive into the often-bizarre world of online influencers. * The Irish Times *
