This book tried to do far too much and in doing so mostly failed to do any of the things well. The effects of social media on a new burgeoning influencer was done well, however it felt very autobiographical which was quite jarring as I could really see the author in Eartha.  I think the handling of mental illness and suggestions of mental illness was done poorly as was the handling of the non-binary best friend. Regardless I did whizz through it but the ending was a massive anticlimax and sadly I would not recommend this.
