Lulu Shapiro accidentally posts a video of her making out with another girl to her 5,000 Flash followers (Flash is like an Instagram/Snapchat hybrid) which leads to a break up with Lulu's boyfriend and tension in her group of friends.
From there the story is about Lulu figuring out who she is, what she wants and finding her place in the world. It's about self-acceptance, sexuality, feminism, body issues, the impact of social media and ultimately character growth.
Although I personally can't identify with the main problem itself (I've never been big on posting pictures and videos of myself on social media or craving attention, followers and likes) I still enjoyed this book a lot.
What I liked most is that the characters and the created conflicts between some of those characters felt entirely realistic. I was never annoyed by the teenage drama because it was all reasonable and especially Lulu thought a lot about her mistakes, worked on her behaviour and tried to change things.
The queer representation was handled so well, I wish I had this book when I was younger, but I'm definitely glad to have read it now.
