Summarization: In this modern day love story: Girl likes boy. Girl snaps photo and posts it online. Boy becomes insta-famous. And what starts out as an innocent photo turns into a whirlwind adventure that forces them both to question whether fame—and love—are worth the price…and changes both of their lives forever.
Told from alternating points of view, #famous captures the sometimes-crazy thrill ride of social media and the equally messy but wonderful moments of liking someone in real life.
Review: A modern day love story with a twist. The internet. It can give people connections, make them famous and just like the title of this book, that is what it does for these love struck teens.
They deal with the hate, the love, and the rest of the world as their love story unfolds. If you want an Eleanor and Park meets the social media world, I suggest this book to you. It’s a heartwarming, funny tale that gets the readers attention right from the get go.
