Fleabag meets Big Swiss in this visceral darkly hilarious and surprisingly moving debut novel about a charismatic misfit who livestreams herself for seven straight days to raise money for her comatose sister's life support 'Propulsive witty and deranged - I couldn't put it down. If you're a fan of My Year of Rest and Relaxation you will love this book.' Nussaibah Younis author of Fundamentally 'Fans of Melissa Broder Rufi Thorpe and Ottessa Moshfegh will laugh cringe empathise and be mesmerised by the spectacle of one woman's attempt to solve all her financial and emotional problems in the most adventurous public and high-stakes way possible. Just Watch Me is addictive and propulsive.'  Emily Gould author of  Perfect Tunes Dell Danvers is barely keeping it together. She's behind on rent for her bathroom-less studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet) she's being plagued by perpetual spiking stomach pain and her younger sister Daisy is in a coma at a hospital that wants to pull the plug. Freshly unemployed and subsisting on selling plant propagations to trust fund kids Dell impulsively starts a 24-hour livestream under the username mademoiselle_dell to fundraise $14 000 for a week of private life support for Daisy. In the dungeon of her stream Dell is in control banishing those who don't abide by her terms of engagement and steadily rising up the platform's ranks with her sympathetic story and angry-funny screen presence. On a dare she discovers that she has a talent for eating spicy food and her streaming fame explodes as her pepper consumption graduates from jalapeño to habanero to ghost. Finally Dell is good at something-but as her behavior becomes riskier and riskier and a troll-turned-incel threatens to expose her dark past Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores and what real redemption means. Narrated in seven taut chapters one for each day of Dell's livestream Just Watch Me careens us through a nonstop week in the life of this charismatic misfit with a heart of gold. Voyeuristic and visceral audacious and outrageous Lior Torenberg's debut is both an incisive zippy tragicomedy about the internet economy as well as a moving meditation on love loss and forgiveness.
