Fully Functioning Human (Almost): Living in an Online/Offline World

Description

In her first book, Irish YouTuber Melanie Murphy shares a series of experiences from the struggle that is growing up in the digital age: cyberbullying, dumping by text, gaining (and then losing) too much weight, having acne in a world of Instagram filters, and, most of all, finding the strength to tackle poor mental health. From self-image struggles to important life lessons about family, friendship, love and mindset, FULLY FUNCTIONING HUMAN (ALMOST) is a warm, illuminating memoir full of wit and wisdom that doubles up as a life guide for millennials.
