"In the highly anticipated sequel to Suck it In and Smile, Ellie is wrestling her picture-perfect life as a social media influencer back under control - but how long can she keep bridging the distance between the desire to be herself and the pressure to conform? Ellie is an inspiration to her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and YouTube. Her book of wellness tips (including her signature recipe for chocolate chip-chickpea cookies) is about to launch. She is one half of a social-media power couple with singer Samuel Vanasse, who is now her fianc. And she is on the verge of breaking into the top three on the YouTube charts. She has everything she needs to be happy - but lately, when she starts crying, she can't seem to stop. Between her father's failing health and the charming yet enigmatic Dave, between her friendship-rivalry with another YouTuber and the pressure to be "authentic" at all times, Ellie is lost. She retreats into her old patterns and tries to regain control of her life, one Fat Burning Challenge at a time. But listening to her heart isn't as easy - or glamorous - as she's been making it look to her followers. This exciting conclusion to Ellie's story examines how we measure success and happiness, while exploring the complexities of body image, female rivalry and grief"--Provided by publisher.
