‘Propulsive, witty and deranged - I couldn’t put it down. If you’re a fan of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, you will love this book.’ Nussaibah Younis, author of Fundamentally
‘Fans of Melissa Broder, Rufi Thorpe and Ottessa Moshfegh will laugh, cringe, empathise, and be mesmerised by the spectacle of one woman’s attempt to solve all her financial and emotional problems in the most adventurous, public and high-stakes way possible. Just Watch Me is addictive and propulsive.’ Emily Gould, author of Perfect Tunes
Dell Danvers is barely keeping it together. She’s behind on rent for her bathroom-less studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet), she’s being plagued by perpetual, spiking stomach pain, and her younger sister, Daisy, is in a coma at a hospital that wants to pull the plug. Freshly unemployed and subsisting on selling plant propagations to trust fund kids, Dell impulsively starts a 24-hour livestream under the username mademoiselle_dell to fundraise $14,000 for a week of private life support for Daisy.
In the dungeon of her stream, Dell is in control, banishing those who don’t abide by her terms of engagement and steadily rising up the platform’s ranks with her sympathetic story and angry-funny screen presence. On a dare, she discovers that she has a talent for eating spicy food, and her streaming fame explodes as her pepper consumption graduates from jalapeño to habanero to ghost. Finally, Dell is good at something—but as her behavior becomes riskier and riskier and a troll-turned-incel threatens to expose her dark past, Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores, and what real redemption means.
Narrated in seven taut chapters, one for each day of Dell’s livestream, Just Watch Me careens us through a nonstop week in the life of this charismatic misfit with a heart of gold. Voyeuristic and visceral, audacious and outrageous, Lior Torenberg’s debut is both an incisive, zippy tragicomedy about the internet economy as well as a moving meditation on love, loss, and forgiveness.

'Just Watch Me by Lior Torenberg is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Dell—the messy, scrappy, perpetually broke protagonist—launches a livestream in a bid to save her comatose sister. A fascinating inquiry of digital performance and the complicated bonds of sisterhood. A riveting debut.' — Vanessa Hua, Forbidden City
'Lior Torenberg's debut novel is a delicious treat, and the flavor is Carolina Reaper. I was entranced by the fire-hot, take-no-prisoners Dell as she led me through a hypnotizing world full of bad behavior and self-destruction. Torenberg tells this story as no one else can, with searing prose and impeccable comic timing. Just Watch Me lives up to its title—I dare you to look away,' — Erika Krouse, author of Save Me, Stranger
'Lior Torenberg has her finger on the pulse of how dangerous and desperate it can be to live one's life online. Dell, her twenty-something protagonist, has a special flair for getting into lots of trouble. She'll make you laugh out loud and break your heart.' — Helen Schulman, author of Lucky Dogs and Fools for Love
