Internet Famous

by Danika Stone

Overview

An engaging and relatable novel for the digital age that perfectly captures the complicated interaction between what goes on in our real lives and what we say online.

Internet sensation Madison Nakama has it all! Her pop-culture rewatch site has a massive following, and fans across the world wait on her every post and tweet. And now Laurent, a fellow geek (and unfairly HOT French exchange student!), has started flirting with her in the comments section of her blog. But Laurent’s not the only one watching for Madi’s replies…

Internet fame has a price, and their online romance sparks the unwanted attention of a troll. When Madi’s “real life” hits a rough patch, she feels her whole world crumbling. With Laurent’s support, can Madi rally her friends across the globe to beat the troll, or will he succeed in driving her away from everything—and everyone—she loves?

Internet Famous is a fresh, contemporary young adult romance for the iGeneration from Danika Stone, author of All the Feels.

Praise for All the Feels:

"This is an insider’s look into the life of a fangirl. ... Liv’s experiences with fandom will resonate with many teens, but it is her struggles to understand her goals for the future, her feelings for Xander, and even the drudgery of college that will compel teens to stick with this story." —School Library Journal

“Anyone who's ever been involved in fandom will be squealing and nodding vigorously from the very first page. I know I was.” —Kim Karalius, author of Love Charms and Other Disasters

“If you’ve ever been part of a fandom, you’ll get it . . . and love it.” —Karole Cozzo, author of How to Say I Love You Out Loud

"I fell in love with this story! Well written, funny, with a side of romance. Liv and Xander are great. Real friends with the ups and downs all friends have. I was laughing and cringing as I read. This book definitely captures the feel of all consuming fandom can be, but there's a real heart to its message. Totally loved it!" —Mara M., reader on SwoonReads.com

From the Publisher

05/01/2017
Gr 8 Up—Madison Nakama, an Internet sensation, runs the blog "MadLib," where she rewatches movies and then comments about them. Everything seems to be going fine until her mother decides to go to Oxford, England, to teach an undergraduate course. This throws Madi and her sister Sarah, who has autism, into a tailspin at the same time Madi is dealing with a bully who is writing nasty comments on her blog. She is also starting to find love. The format of this book varies; there are sections of text conversations, blog posts, Snapchat messages, and more. Madi's relationship with her sister is charming and realistic. The protagonist's interactions with her mother also ring true; however, the Oxford setup feels rushed and doesn't serve the narrative in any way. The romance between Madi and Laurent is sweet but doesn't feel authentic. Overall, this is an enjoyable, fast-paced read to which teens will relate because of the social media—influenced format. VERDICT Purchase where breezy, light YA romance is needed.—Mary Hyson, Eyer Middle School, Macungie, PA
