THE BOOK
When Luna moves to Paris after her father passed, her world is upended, and books become her refuge. One bored evening, she starts filming herself talking about her latest read and publishes the content on her new-born YouTube channel. Soon, other videos follow suit and a community begins to form around her. When a manager offers his services, Luna’s dimension soon changes: from a semi-anonymous booktuber, she becomes an increasingly famous influencer. As her private life becomes the heart of her content, the line between her true self and online persona begins to blur. This groundbreaking debut novel explores the intricacies of digital celebrity and its impact on those whose everyday lives now unfold under the eyes of millions.
