Frankie has a love-hate relationship with the spotlight. She
secretly craves attention, but she is ashamed of that craving. And
after a lifetime of comparison to her perfect sister Bean, she has
never felt more invisible. She only ever feels seen when she
uploads risqué photos to her small community of online fans. She
creates a new her: confident, sexy and utterly unrecognisable from
the real Frankie. Then the worst happens. Bean is diagnosed with
cancer. While Frankie wants to fill the freezer with home cooked
food, her mother decides she knows better and somehow launches a
nationwide cancer fundraiser, with Frankie as the
supportive-sister-spokesmodel. Inevitability, her account is found.
Now everyone has their eyes on Frankie. With her family no longer
speaking to her, Frankie flounders in her newfound notoriety.
Feminists and misogynists rage at her online, while she attracts
hundreds of new subscribers. Whether they're demanding apologies or
expecting an empowering call to arms, everyone wants Frankie to
explain herself. But how can she explain what she barely
understands? Limelight is a story about sisterhood, sexuality, and
self-esteem. It's about how we cope with living in a world which
constantly tells us who we are. What happens when we stop listening
and start paying attention to who we need to become?
