Synopsis
From the author of Between the Notes comes a story that shines a light on our love of social media and how sometimes being the person you think you want to be isn’t as great as being the person you truly are. Perfect for fans of Vivi Greene’s Sing and Susane Colasanti’s Now and Forever.
Vicky Decker’s social anxiety has helped her to master the art of hiding in plain sight, appearing only to her best friend, Jenna. But when Jenna moves away, Vicky’s isolation becomes unbearable. So she decides to invent a social life by Photoshopping herself into other people’s photos and posting them on Instagram under the screen name Vicurious.
Instantly, she begins to get followers, and soon, Vicky has made a whole new life for herself without ever leaving her bedroom. But the more followers she amasses online, the clearer it becomes that there are a lot of people out there who feel like her―#alone and #ignored in real life. To help them, and herself, she must stop living vicariously and start bringing the magic of Vicurious back to life.
But what happens when your secret online life becomes a viral sensation, and the only person you can’t seem to help is yourself?
- Social Anxiety Representation: Step into the mind of Vicky Decker, a teen girl whose ‘Terror List’ of everyday fears is as real and relatable as her desperate desire to disappear.
- Viral Fame and Secret Identity: What starts as a few Photoshopped pictures on Instagram turns into Vicurious—an online phenomenon with a secret Vicky must protect at all costs.
- A Sweet, Slow-Burn Romance: From awkward hallway encounters to quiet acts of kindness, a tender romance blossoms with the one boy who sees the real Vicky.
- Heartfelt Friendship Story: A powerful look at what happens when your best friend moves away, leaving you to navigate high school and find new connections all on your own.
- An Uplifting Mental Health Journey: A hopeful and honest story for any teen who has ever felt invisible, offering a path from isolation to connection and self-acceptance.
