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, unforgettable, 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. And with a delicious sense of
inevitability, her account is found. Now everyone has their eyes on
Frankie. With her mum and sister 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?
