The debut novel from 2018 Boston College graduate Lior Torenberg is “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.” In Just Watch Me (Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster, 2026), Dell Danvers starts a 24-hour live stream of her life to raise funds for her comatose sister. Narrated in seven chapters, one for each day of Dell’s live stream, Just Watch Me careens through a week in the life of this misguided striver with a heart of gold. The publisher calls Just Watch Me “a poignant and darkly funny exploration of grief, forgiveness, and redemption.” After graduating with a bachelor’s degree from BC’s Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Torenberg earned a M.F.A. in creative writing from New York University.
