Hi everyone, today I'm excited to share the cover for Sharon Huss Roat's new book How to Disappear, let me just say this book sounds absolutely fantastic! This lovely book isn't our until 2017, :( but worry not, we have a giveaway for one lucky winner to win an ARC copy! But without further ado here's the cover to How to Disappear!
Vicky Decker has perfected the art of hiding in plain sight, quietly navigating the halls of her high school undetected except by her best (and only) friend, Jenna. But when Jenna moves away, Vicky’s mother starts getting worried . . . and desperate for Vicky to make friends, even if it means forcing her daughter to meet people.And that’s the last thing Vicky wants. So she decides to invent a social life by photoshopping herself into other people’s photos, posting them on Instagram under the screen name Vicurious. Instantly, she begins to get followers, so she adds herself to more photos from all over the world with all types of people. And as Vicurious’s online followers multiply, Vicky realizes she can make a whole life for herself without ever leaving her bedroom. But the more followers she finds 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, Vicky must find the courage to face her fear of being “seen,” because only then can she stop living vicariously and truly bring the magic of Vicurious to life.In this beautiful and illuminating narrative, Sharon Huss Roat 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.
What do you guys think? I absolutely love it, the minimalist look of it and that teasing tag line has me super curious for more! I need it right away!
