I loved did like the main character she grew on me. I love the romance that developed. The main character took me so time to like but by the end i was engaged. I loved the fandom elements and also the relationship between her and sarah it added a unexpected reality to the story. I loved the elements of cyber bulling and the impact it can have on characters. I also thought the family dynamics were so fun to read about. I liked the pop culture ties in but the revel of who the stalker was feel a bit flat for me. Overall a fun read. * I got this book for free from the publisher* Internet Famous by Danika Stone Usually, I adore YA books and I thought the concept around this one was great. The problem for me and where it fell short was it just did not feel believable. I really had a lot of trouble with the characters and the parental figures. Honestly, I don't know if it improved but I had to stop reading halfway through. It was just impossible for me to get into. I have read a lot of other great reviews of this book, so maybe it just wasn't for me. Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review. Online fame and offline conflicts collide in Danika Stone's Internet Famous. Madi is a homeschooled highschooler with a cult following of her rewatches and reactions on basically-Tumblr. She has a load of fans, and that's both her biggest strength and her biggest worry. It's a feel-good story, with a YA romance and a bond between two sisters. This was a fun, light book to read despite the issues I had with it. First let's start with the things I liked: - FANDOMS - Online friendships - Hot French guy *wiggles eyebrows* - Pop culture - Madi's blog was cool af That's basically about it. Now off to the things that I had a couple of issues with: - Madi acted like a dick towards her sister unnecessarily sometimes, I mean yeah dealing with someone who has any sort of mental illness or special needs is exhausting when everyone expects you to handle everything all the time. BUT you do not walk away from your own sister while she's in the middle of a breakdown that was just a dick move. - Madi "knew" she was gonna "fall" for Laurent the moment she saw how gorgeous he was. I don't know about you but it screams superficial to me. - Laurent was too damn perfect (I mean I don't mind that little bit of perfection here and there but DAMN the guy has it all; looks, personality, height, manners, accent... EVERYTHING) it was a bit frustrating at some point. - How insta-love-y the whole relationship between Madi and Laurent was *rolling eyes* - I might be biased in this one because I'm fluent in French, BUT I'm pretty sure almost everyone can understand what "je t'aime" means, yet Laurent says it to Madi a billion times and she doesn't even UNDERSTAND it!! Plus if MY boyfriend was a French guy and I didn't speak his language I would've started learning it. - The French translations weren't accurate most of the times. And I'm not speaking about when Laurent told her "je t'adore" then when she asked he replied with something other than the real meaning, I know that was done on purpose. But the other translations -I can't remember one rn- were not accurate, it was as if the translation was done using Google Translate, and we all know how accurate that one can be. But despite this, I actually had fun reading this book, it was so light (hell I finished it in one sitting even though I had a lot of school work to do) no reviews | add a review
