Let Down Your Hair

Once upon a time an influencer lived in a tower ... will she get her happy beginning? A fierce and fresh retelling of RAPUNZEL from bestselling author and journalist Bryony Gordon.

Description

Let Down Your Hair is the YA fiction debut from bestselling author and journalist Bryony Gordon, offering a modern twist on Rapunzel and one girl's quest to find a different sort of happily ever after.

Barb may have zero friends in real life, but online, she is popular. Like, several-hundred-thousand-followers popular. Or at least, her hair is popular. Barb's hair is glossy and beautiful, which is why hairbrush manufacturers pay her exorbitant sums for a 30-second clip.

But most of the time, Barb just wants to be a normal teenager, someone who has friends and a life. She longs for a life outside her bedroom on the 12th floor of the tower-block flat she shares with her aunt, where she constantly makes content. Barb dreams of living without everyone obsessing over her appearance. She just needs to save up some money to create a new life for herself.

Soon, it's apparent something isn't right. When Barb runs her fingers over her scalp, she senses something smooth and different. She takes out her mirrors and combs for a video and sees it—a bald patch the size of a ten pence coin right in the middle of her head.

Barb has alopecia.

In this stunning retelling of Rapunzel, Barb must learn that she is much more than her hair and that there is no such thing as a happy ending—just lots of complicated new beginnings.
