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 . . . '


Growing up in an online age, becoming an internet sensation with half a million followers on her YouTube Channel, Irish girl Melanie Murphy's journey has been far from ordinary. Here, in her first book, she shares the ups and downs of her life. From dealing with online bullying, to living with anxiety and eating disorders to coping with acne and coming to terms with her sexuality, Melanie shows us how through difficult times we can learn the most about ourselves. And that, by learning to value and love 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.
