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

'I'm just a nitwit girl who's sort of stumbling through life learning that we all have our own roads to walk - but that it's still valuable, and rather lovely, to hear about other people's journeys...'

Filled with honesty, wit and wisdom, Fully Functioning Human (Almost) - part memoir, part life guide - will show you the real Melanie Murphy: warm, fun, positive, honest, a girl who's got this whole adult thing down. Almost.

Irish YouTuber Melanie Murphy regularly chronicles the ups and downs of her life on her popular channel, discussing topics such as sexuality, skincare, social media and self-esteem. Now, in her first book, she looks with her trademark humour and down-to-earth honesty at the experiences that have shaped her.

From learning how to manage her online life, to giving up on the idea of perfection, living with anxiety and the lessons she has learned about relationships, Mel shows us that difficult times can teach us the most about who we are, and by learning to value ourselves, we can overcome whatever life throws at us.

Melanie Murphy is an award-winning lifestyle Youtuber and best-selling author from Ireland.

With over 850K followers across social media, Melanie is a virtual best friend for those looking for advice on sexuality, relationships, confidence and mental health.

Named Blogosphere's 'Influencer of the Year 2018' and Gossies 'Best Social Media Star of 2020' Melanie's Youtube videos have amassed nearly 68 million views from an international online family that love her warm, honest and relatable content.

Following on from the success of her debut memoir and life-guide, Fully Functioning Human (Almost), her first novel If Only was published in 2019 and she is now working on her second fiction project.
