When Bella Younger spawned Deliciously Stella - her hilarious social media alter ego - she wanted to prove once and for all that Instagram does not equal reality. Within weeks, she'd gone viral and soon began living a lie of her own. In 2016, Bella reached the 20,000 followers milestone whilst on a booze-soaked Spanish holiday. Bikini-clad and spiralling, she returned to her parents' home to continue her descent. As her care-free online presence flourished, Bella's health deteriorated, culminating in a bipolar diagnosis and stints at the Priory for social media addiction. Should she have undertaken a month-long run at the Edinburgh Festival immediately after she was discharged? Probably not, but the pressure to be 'on it' and online was all-consuming. Sharp, funny, and fearless, this book is a cautionary tale against chasing the elusive blue tick.
