Millie Porter here. I’m posting this from a garden shed, because three so-called adults are in the house arguing over whether you can train penguins. You see, I moved in with my dad, granddad, and aunty to escape my mum’s neat freak boyfriend. (He follows me around with a vacuum cleaner, like that’s a normal thing to do. It’s not.)The point is, this reality thing is HARD, so my BFF Lauren and I are taking it online to tell you how to handle it. We are going to make a difference with this vlog. That is, if I can just get Dave the cat’s tail OUT OF MY FACE.Yes, we know it’s usually only übergeeks like Bradley Sanderson who do vlogs. Yes, we know that Instagram queen Erin Breeler will not like it ONE TINY BIT. But Lauren says she’ll be too obsessed with the hot new boy at school to notice us.You get to see me juggling real life, online life, and a cat intent on my destruction as it happens—IRL.This is my life. Uploaded.And don't miss the sequel, My Life Gone Viral!An Imprint Book"Quite excellent." —Kirkus Reviews

Horn Book Review
Millie and her best friend start a vlog called Hashtag Help to assist fellow teens dealing with "life and idiots and families and trolls." As the vlog takes off, Millie herself must contend with all four...plus an uncooperative cat. Millie's ebullient narration and commentary on an Instagram/YouTube world--peppered with delightful British slang and emphatic ALL CAPS--will make readers LOL. (c) Copyright 2019.

Kirkus Book Review
Move over Georgia and Angusthere's a new girl-and-cat comedy duo in town!Millie Porter and her mum used to have fun together, but then Mum's boyfriend, Gary, aka the Neat Freak, moved in with his robot vacuum cleaner (which he calls McWhirter), bringing his ongoing feud with the crumb-hoarding toaster into the family. Now, Mum is in a happy, gooey love haze, and Millie is in a "coma of really fed-up." The usually sensible English teen may be about to make her most senseless decision since naming her (female) cat Dave when she was 3: Perhaps the best thing for now is to live with Dad, who shares a home with her sexist Grandad and quirky Aunty Teresa. Millie's best friend, Lauren, reminds Mills that "YOLO," so she should live it upand start a vlog. The big question: What should the topic be? Dave cuddling vegetables and surfing the robot-hoover? Household uses for castoff exercise equipment? Maybe Millie and Lozza should just improvise? The sky's the limit; how far will cautious, play-it-safe Millie go to live in the now? Millie's hysterical first-person narration directly addresses readers, pulling them into the moment. Briticisms firmly establish the setting, and hashtag chapter headings set up the forthcoming antics. Whiteness is assumed for most characters, including all the main ones; Millie's crush is a part Chinese, part French Canadian boy.Quite excellent.
