She’s behind on rent for her bathroom-less studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet); she’s being plagued by perpetual stomach pain; and her younger sister, Daisy, is in a coma at a hospital that wants to pull the plug. Freshly unemployed and subsisting on selling plant propagations to trust-fund kids, Dell impulsively starts a twenty-four-hour livestream under the username mademoiselle_dell to fundraise for private life support for Daisy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDell is her stream’s dungeon master, banishing those who don’t abide by her terms and steadily rising up the platform’s ranks with her sympathetic story and angry-funny screen presence. Once she discovers she has a talent for eating spicy food, her streaming fame explodes as her pepper consumption escalates from jalapeño to ghost pepper to the hottest pepper on earth: the Caroline Reaper. Dell is finally good at something—but as her behavior becomes riskier and a shadowy troll threatens to expose her dark past, Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores, and what real redemption means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNarrated in seven taut chapters, one for each day of Dell’s livestreams, Just Watch Me careens through a week in the life of this misguided striver with a heart of gold. Voyeuristic and visceral, audacious and outrageous, Lior Torenberg’s debut is both a razor-sharp tragicomedy about the internet economy and a surreptitiously moving tale about the desire to be watched—and the terror of being seen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABCchapters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45899610259509,"sku":"BS-L736-9781668091180","price":28.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/0973\/6501\/files\/9781668091180_a3034.jpg?v=1786836449","url":"https:\/\/www.abcchapters.com\/products\/bestsellers-9781668091180","provider":"ABCchapters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
