Picture this. You’re in middle school, dealing with all the issues that beset middle-school kids: will anyone in your new class like you? What if the cool kids are mean to you or someone you like? Will you stand up for them? What are you good at-- and what if the cool kids don’t think that’s cool?
On top of that, imagine that your mother is a “momfluencer” -- an influencer with thousands of followers on social media, who can’t get enough of her take on raising a family. She posts things about you and your siblings for the world to read--and some of those posts are not what you want people to know about you. That’s the premise of the new young-adult novel 'So Over Sharing,' by Elissa Brent Weissman — we get a preview.
