A sponsored date turns into an expose and Eartha becomes more and more withdrawn and depressed, neglecting her other relationships.

The fleeting interesting moments of queer romance and self-discovery are overshadowed by a narrative about social media and, more notably, cancel culture, to which Eartha naturally falls victim. Und es machte mir auch Lust, mal das Original in die Hand zu nehmen, um zu sehen, wie das denn dort geschrieben wurde und ob mir dort überhaupt irgendwas auffällt.

The distance between her online and offline self grows further and further apart until something dark happens that leads her into total self-destruction, forcing Eartha to make a choice; which version of herself should she kill off? In all her work, from her non-fiction writing to her debut novel and hit podcast, Florence uses her platform to bring women together and give them a permission slip to define feminism on their own terms. It isn’t inspirational, it’s normal, and wouldn’t garner anywhere near as much attention as Florence claims it would in this book. She then attracted masses of Instagram followers with her bright illustrations and pop feminist phrases. Described as a “wild, weird and seductive modern-day exploration” of “life as an openly bisexual woman whilst also becoming a viral sensation”, it re-situates debates about today’s digital cultures within our potential future world, alongside a heavy helping of the feminist ideas the author found fame for.

Es bedeutet nicht, dass eine Person nie in einer Beziehung sein wird, die hetero auf die Außenwelt wirkt.I’ve followed Florence Given’s account on my personal Instagram for quite a few years now and, to me, the first part of this novel felt almost like a fictionalized autobiography of her trajectory to fame on Instagram. It's not all doom and gloom, I did devour the book in a few days, I laughed out loud at a couple of bits and I enjoyed Eartha as a character. Sie ist eine bisexuelle Künstlerin, wohnt in einer grottigen Wohnung und hat gerade ihren Freund rausgeschmissen, weil er sie mit einer anderen Frau betrogen hat und dieser Frau auch noch ihr Lieblingsshirt geschenkt hat, das sie selbst designt hat.

I had the same boyfriend problems but thankfully after I told my friends what was going on it was able to stop :) and dumped! I couldn't connect with any of the other characters though, I didn't feel any emotion towards them, I didn't feel drawn into their story lines.

This is a frank, funny novel that deals with more serious themes than you might expect from that set-up. This novel does not know what it wants to be: For a book about social media, what will happen and why the author crafts the story like that is way too apparent - we already know all that. I’ve seen a lot of one-star reviews commenting on these problems, and though they didn’t make me hate the book, I can’t say that I enjoyed those aspects either.

It focuses on Eartha, a woman who is in a toxic relationship with a man and, after breaking up with him, ends up posting a sort of coming out video on her Wonderland account, which immediately goes viral. Wie gesagt: Triggerwarnungen wären hier definitiv angebracht gewesen, denn das ist sicher nicht für alle Menschen geeignet. It also felt like it was doing too much; it started out as a contemporary fiction that I could vibe with but switched right at the end to something dark.I read it quickly, and as I’ve been feeling a little slumpy, it felt good to fall into a book and get through it fast. it also feels very much like /someone/ was about to miss their deadline, hence the hilariously abrupt ending of 'wonderland existed 2018-2030,' which feels very, 'and it was all a dream. At times I wondered if it was an autobiography, I've followed Florence for years and there were so many similarities with Eartha and her. The main character Eartha is in her mid 20s in 2030 and somehow a VOICE OF A GENERATION for drunkenly announcing that she is bisexual on social media (wow?
