The Secret Life of Debbie G. by Vibha Batra

It all started cos I wanted to mess with the Invincibles (the superbrats). #SorryNotSorry. But one thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was hitting out at everyone, even the Incredibles (the geeks) and the Invisibles (the losers). Seriously, my online persona is starting to mess with my head. The Secret Life of Debbie G. is the story of a sixteen-year-old who becomes an online sensation overnight. Except, it’s her online persona that hits the big time. Set in contemporary times, where the number of likes, comments, shares, DMs, and followers determines a teenager’s sense of self-worth, the story takes a close look at how social media influences their behavior and affects their emotional health. Equal parts poignant and fun, this is a bittersweet coming-of-age story.
