Summary

Zibby speaks with Noelle Crooks about UNDER THE INFLUENCE, a compulsively readable debut about a young woman who accepts a job working for an enigmatic influencer and quickly discovers there’s an ugly side to being a #GirlBoss. They explore the themes of influencer culture, toxic workplaces, and the pressures faced by the protagonist, Harper, as she struggles to find work-life balance and external validation, especially from her parents. Noelle shares how her own early-career experiences are reflected in her novel. Through this discussion, Noelle and Zibby explore the challenges faced by individuals in the digital age, both personally and professionally.
