friend

Boldly unfiltered and beautifully written, Bad Influence is a
fascinating peek behind the social media smokescreen. A smart and
nuanced read for our extremely online times

of millennial culture, identity politics and contemporary
relationships

Like a glass of wine with your most loveable, charming and
vulnerable friend. Oenone brings so much nuance to the concept of
influencing and living online...If ever a book captured the
zeitgeist, this is it.

Bad Influence is witty, honest and refreshingly self-aware. It
effortlessly encapsulates the experience of a generation fumbling
through life against a backdrop of social media and explores what
it truly means to be 'an influencer' in today's digital age. Oenone
Forbat is one to watch
*Hannah Skelley, Fashion Assistant at The Times*
I absolutely flew through Bad Influence and loved every page.
Oenone has written such a fascinating and self-aware dissection of
what it's like to live life in this parallel online universe. It's
not just an interesting and incredibly honest memoir, it's also
funny, warm and brilliantly engaging. It will leave you questioning
about so much - but definitely not how many stars this book
deserves. Five stars!

A fun and frothy insight into what it really takes to game the
algorithm. An ideal summer read
*Evening Standard*
Oenone writes with real honesty and authenticity, highlighting the
good and the bad aspects of having a platform and exploring the
life behind the grid squares - the anxiety, scrutiny, and
judgement
*Glamour*
The strength of Bad Influence is its meditation on the deep-seated
paranoia that comes with being constantly exposed to so many
people
*The Economist*
