By Karen Harte. Published by Gill. Softcover, 240 pages, Colour, 2026 Fifteen-year-old Effie has spent her entire life in the spotlight as the daughter of @thebrightfamily, a famous Irish influencer family known for their picture-perfect posts. But after her dad’s very public cheating scandal implodes their online empire, Effie’s mam relocates the family to a small rural town for a fresh start. Desperate to escape her embarrassing past, Effie hides her influencer origins at her new school, where she finally starts to make friends and meets Jack – a grounded, gentle boy with a total lack of online presence or knowledge of that world. But as her mam starts reinventing herself, Effie’s secrets and her chance at a new beginning are at risk of being exposed ... in a very public, very messy way. When your parents are online influencers, perhaps the most rebellious thing you can do is to unsubscribe from your life… Karen Harte is the bestselling illustrator of the Milly McCarthy series by Leona Forde. An illustrator, comic creator and visual designer from Dublin, this is her first author/illustrator project. She has worked with a variety of clients such as Positive Period Ireland, Girls Rock Dublin, Fighting Words, the Dublin Feminist Film Festival and more.
