Let Down Your Hair by Bryony Gordon

3.0

This quick, easy, YA read was enjoyable but a bit predictable for me. Examining the world of social media influencers and the pressure on young people to fit into that world where image/brand is everything the book's underlying message is that it is better to be honest and find happiness as your true self than to maintain a curated persona designed to gain followers online. I think many younger teens will really relate to this and I could see this book being used to prompt discussions in a senior primary/early secondary classroom about the reality behind the curated social media platforms they swipe through every day.
Thanks to Netgalley.co.uk and Hachette Children's Group for the free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
