Résumé · Jenny is 35. She works for an online magazine, Foof – “as awful as it sounds” – and has a famous photographer boyfriend. She is obsessed with Suzy Brambles, an Instagram influencer whose “kickboxing lessons and almond eyes” induce compulsive envy. She has friends on whom she depends rather too much, and neglects and mistreats Kelly in particular. Jenny gets sucked into ever more frenetic online dramas, and her social media habit begins to have a corrosive effect. When her relationship breaks down, her mother Carmen – a spiritual medium, something of a drama queen, and a patchy but warm caregiver – comes to live with her, with mixed results.
