Recently dumped by her boyfriend of ten years, Bell is struggling to move on with her life and surrender the fleecy pyjamas shes been living in since January. Haunted by #blessed on social media, she cant help but compare her life to those she follows online, wondering where she is going wrong . . .
In the world of social media, Millie is the successful online influencer @mi_bestlife. But in real life shes just a regular single mum trying to make ends meet, while fending off the younger competition and tenacious internet trolls. Her Instagram feed is far more #BestLie than #BestLife, and soon Millie begins to wish her life was more like her filters.
It isnt until Bell and Millies paths cross that they begin to realise what theyre both missing. Can Millie prove to Bell that life online isnt always what it appears to be? And in return, can Millie learn that she needs to start living for the moment and not for the likes?
