My new book is called ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE! It will be published in the UK by Atom Books in January 2019. 

All the Lonely People is the story of Kat Waldgrave, a girl who lives her whole life online, and Wesley Graham, the boy who bullies her off the internet.

As soon as Kat deletes her online presence, her physical body begins to fade from existence and everybody forgets she exists. Until she meets another girl who is fading too, and realises the only way to save herself is to stop an alt-right terror attack. Wesley might be the only person left who remembers Kat. Overcome by remorse for what he has done, he must decide between being drawn deeper into the alt-right or preventing Kat from disappearing completely. It might be the only way to save himself.

All the Lonely People is a story about online culture - both good and bad - that explores the experience of loneliness in a connected world, and the power of kindness and empathy over hatred.

The cover design is by Mark Swan, and I am completely heart eyes emoji in love with it. I really think this is the best book I've written yet.

Fancy it? Here are some pre-order links:

Amazon.

Waterstones.

I think this is a great book because it focuses on the impact that Cyber bullying has and mentions the things that go unnoticed. The effects it has on victims. For eg It may have been their only way of getting through the day - receiving courageous comments and feeling confident, a person willing to speak up online when when usually they may be quite timid and not good at socialising.
Liked the reference to utubers which kept it in the now.
I was triggered by the utubers thinking that men were superior than women.
I would however change nothing about the book.
The ending was my favourite part but I wont spoilt it for those who want to read it.
All The Lonely People is a great book and I would give it 10/10
Matt
