About
In 2016, Bella gained 75,000 followers overnight, and hundreds of likes a minute. Soon she was being paid thousands of pounds to beat up a cake for the 'gram, attend ludicrously lavish influencer gifting events and was dropping emoji-bombs left, right and center. But even as the constant rush of notifications fueled her endorphins, life among the Instafamous began to take a toll. As Bella's carefree presence flourished online, her health began to spiral offline, culminating in a stint at The Priory for social media addiction. Should she have undertaken a month-long run of stand-up comedy immediately after she was discharged? Probably not, but the pressure to be 'on' and online was all-consuming—and she had followers to please after all... Funny, frank and fearless, is a relatable story of the precarious balancing act between our online and offline selves—and the truth behind the staged shots, spon-con, and the coveted but ever-elusive blue tick.
