Just Watch Me

‘Propulsive, witty and deranged - I couldn’t put it down. If you’re a fan of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, you will love this book.’ Nussaibah Younis, author of Fundamentally

‘Fans of Melissa Broder, Rufi Thorpe and Ottessa Moshfegh will laugh, cringe, empathise, and be mesmerised by the spectacle of one woman’s attempt to solve all her financial and emotional problems in the most adventurous, public and high-stakes way possible. Just Watch Me is addictive and propulsive.’ - Emily Gould, author of Perfect Tunes

‘Just Watch Me by Lior Torenberg is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Dell—the messy, scrappy, perpetually broke protagonist—launches a livestream in a bid to save her comatose sister. A fascinating inquiry of digital performance and the complicated bonds of sisterhood. A riveting debut.’ — Vanessa Hua, author of Forbidden City

‘Lior Torenberg’s debut novel is a delicious treat, and the flavor is Carolina Reaper. I was entranced by the fire-hot, take-no-prisoners Dell as she led me through a hypnotizing world full of bad behavior and self-destruction. Torenberg tells this story as no one else can, with searing prose and impeccable comic timing. Just Watch Me lives up to its title—I dare you to look away,’ — Erika Krouse, author of Save Me, Stranger

‘Lior Torenberg has her finger on the pulse of how dangerous and desperate it can be to live one’s life online. Dell, her twenty-something protagonist, has a special flair for getting into lots of trouble. She’ll make you laugh out loud and break your heart.’ — Helen Schulman, author of Lucky Dogs and Fools for Love

Lior Torenberg’s work has been published by One Story, MAYDAY, the Poetry Society of New York, and others. She received her MFA in creative writing from New York University and graduated from the Lighthouse Writers Workshop’s Book Project. Just Watch Me is her first novel.
