The praise.

A selection of quotes and coverage for Bad Influence and Oenone's broader work.

Oenone Forbat
"Like a glass of wine with your most loveable, charming and vulnerable friend. If ever a book captured the zeitgeist, this is it."
Grace Campbell
"Witty, honest and refreshingly self-aware. Oenone Forbat is one to watch."
Hannah Skelley, The Times
"Boldly unfiltered and beautifully written. A smart and nuanced read for our extremely online times."
Lauren Bravo
"A brilliant and necessary look at an industry that is wildly misunderstood."
Olivia Petter
"Warm, juicy and eye-opening, like having a chat with a best friend."
Annie Lord
"Equal parts insightful and entertaining — whatever your take on influencers, Bad Influence is a great read."
Yomi Adegoke
"An ideal summer read."
Evening Standard
"Oenone writes with real honesty and authenticity, exploring the life behind the grid squares."
Glamour
"The strength of Bad Influence is its meditation on the deep-seated paranoia that comes with being constantly exposed to so many people."
The Economist
