Description

Dene Walker picked me to be her best friend. She had the whole of Tonsley Highs year eight to choose fromand she chose me. Me!

Tully cant believe her luck. Dene is famous. Everyone loves her. She has thousands of followers online and hundreds of sponsorship deals. Being best friends with Dene Walker is a dream come true.

Tully is soon hardly aware that her long-time bestie, Kira, exists, as she shapes her own interests and cares to be the person worthy of Denes attention. And shes not prepared for the heartache and confusion when Denes friendship is not all she imagined it to be.

Selfie is an engaging and very real exploration of social media and the trickiness of separating whats real from the glossiness of the online world. Its a tender story about friendship and staying true to yourself.
