Lola Offline by Nicola Doherty

After Delilah makes a mistake online for all to see, she wants a fresh start somewhere new and away from all she knows so she decides to move, alone!

Now under the new name Lola, leaving all she knows behind and moving to Paris alone she meets Vee and Fletcher whilst still thinking about Jules, Nisha and Ellie, her old friends back home.

However, when students at this school find out just what was tweeted by her they react in many ways. Her new friends still like her whilst Tariq, her could become boyfriend needs space to go over things as culture and racial issues are bought into the mix...

A pleasant short read for teens, raising issues around social media backlash and how words can really hurt not just you.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
