「《網紅家庭》是一本重要且切合時事的作品。艾琳．昆恩．孔以不加批判且細緻入微的方式，展現了我們在網路上過度分享我們自己、孩子們的生活所帶來的隱患與後果…你會飛快地讀完這本書，並對書中每一個人物都感同身受，並跟隨著這些角色思考著使一個家庭四分五裂的道德問題。」－《The Days I Loved You Most》作者Amy Neff
Whitney的網紅人生一切都很完美，直到有一天被女兒起訴。
Whitney曾經是懷著第四個孩子的寡婦，而她靠著這樣的形象在社群媒體上建立了自己的品牌，現在已經是擁有超過一百萬粉絲的人氣網紅。她擁有了一切：四個漂亮又上相的孩子、一個英俊帥氣的新男友、一幢華麗的豪宅，以及足以塞滿一整個房間的名牌服飾，她正處於事業的巔峰，也終於覺得走在正確的人生道路上了。
但正值青少年的女兒Mia卻向她坦白厭倦了暴露在社交媒體之中的生活，她要求母親移除與自己、兄弟姊妹們及已故父親有關的所有內容，也不想再與母親建立的品牌形象有任何瓜葛。不出所料，日正當紅的Whitney無法接受自己的事業戛然而止，母女兩人無法達成共識，最終導致Mia使出了最後手段：起訴她的母親。
一場家庭口角演變成了一場關於兒童隱私、法定代理人和新時代教養的重大訴訟案件，引發了媒體的軒然大波，更是受到網民無休止地抨擊。母女之間的感情支離破碎，兩人的生活也產生巨變，而無論法官如何裁決，Whitney都將面臨一大抉擇——要選擇耗費心力建立的一切，還是選擇挽回女兒。
