When she discovers a bald patch on her head, she must learn that she is so much more than her hair and that there is no such thing as a happy ending. The book promotes the message that all teens need to read: they are good enough, and their looks are not their sum total as a person. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 288 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 September 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hachette Children's Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroducing the YA fiction debut from bestselling author and journalist Bryony Gordon in a modern twist on Rapunzel and one girl's quest to find a different sort of happy ever after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarb may have zero friends IRL, but online, she is popular. Like, several-hundred-thousand-followers popular. Or at least, her hair is popular. Because Barb's hair is glossy and beautiful. Which is why hairbrush manufacturers pay her stupid money for a 30-second clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut most of the time, Barb just wants to be a typical teenager, who has friends and a life. One who isn't confined to her bedroom on the 12th floor of the tower-block flat she shares with her aunt, making content. One who can go about her business without everyone obsessing over the way she looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarb just needs to save up some money to make a new life for herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it's soon clear something isn't right.
