My Life as a Hashtag

Author(s): Gabrielle Williams

Young Adult Fiction

"I'd been warned--in French, no less. By a tram-riding, mermaid-swaying, wolf-eaten, peace-sign flipping friend. I knew she wouldn't be happy if I stayed out here by the pool, with Jed's nail tracing the length of my neck. But I didn't want to go inside. I didn't want another drink. I wanted to stay out here and see what would happen." What's a girl to do when her parents have split up, her mom's trawling Tinder, and one of her best friends has decided not to invite her to the biggest party of the year, which she then has to watch unfold on everyone else's social media? If you're a girl called MC, you get mad as hell, that's what you do. But what begins as one girl's private, no-holds-barred rant soon snowballs in the most public way possible. A funny, heartfelt novel for anyone who's ever wished they hadn't pressed send.

Seventeen year old Melbourne teen MC is mad as hell. Her parents have split up, her dad has a new girlfriend, her mum is trawling Tinder, and after some interesting developments at the biggest party of the year, her lifelong “friend” Anouk has just blocked her on FaceBook.

When MC vents about Anouk on her private Tumblr blog, she never expects it to go viral.  But within hours, #FookAnook is trending worldwide and radio stations are running contests to find out the girls’ identities.

A very funny and illuminating story about friendships, families, and life as a teenager in a social media world. Recommended for age 13+ due to language and content.
