She's behind on rent for her studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet), she's being plagued by perpetual 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 plants to trust fund kids, Dell impulsively starts a 24-hour livestream under the username mademoiselle_dell to fundraise for private life support for Daisy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDell is her stream's dungeon master, banishing those who don't abide by her terms and steadily rising up the platform's ranks with her sympathetic story and angry-funny screen presence.

Dell is finally good at something--but as her behavior becomes riskier and a shadowy troll threatens to expose her dark past, Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores, and what real redemption means. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNarrated in seven taut chapters, one for each day of Dell's livestream, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eJust Watch Me\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e careens through a week in the life of this misguided striver with a heart of gold. Voyeuristic and visceral, audacious and outrageous, Lior Torenberg's debut is both a razor-sharp tragicomedy about the internet economy and a surreptitiously moving tale about the desire to be watched, and the terror of being seen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Publish date - 01\/20\/2026 - Hardcover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53649855480118,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8714\/8342\/files\/FullSizeRender_9180c1b4-7616-4a88-a854-405ec9bb0214.jpg?v=1770239705","url":"https:\/\/thenandnowbookshop.com\/products\/just-watch-me","provider":"Then \u0026 Now Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
