I found this strangely compelling. Strange because, as a 35 year old woman, I didn't think I'd find much to hold my interest in a novel about a teenage blogger and the younger online world. I was wrong. Perhaps this book impressed me so much because I started with such low expectations.

But it did impress me...so much so, I found myself staying up until 2a.m. to find out whodunnit.

It had the right mix of three-dimensional characters and mysteries. Also, to a non-blogger (but proud member of the Twitterati), the fabric of the story seemed believable: the language, the online politics, the danger. I'm also delighted that the protagonist saved herself. I won't say more for fear of ruining the next reader's experience.

I would gladly read more material by Danika Stone.

I read the first half of the book in a single sitting... I literally just sat there and read for HOURS and the only reason I left the book was because I needed to go fetch breakfast... And thennnnnnn life got in the way and I was unable to continue reading the book for a while but holy shit was I itching to get back to it and when I DIDDDD... JESUS CHRIST I HATED MRS. P ! WHAT A BIOTCH!

ANYWAYS!
Haters going to freaking HATE!
Stone has done it yet again with another love story that it effortless and not too cheesy to the point where you want to shake the characters and scream at them "YOURE FAKE AS SHIT!"
Madi was lovable, with emotions that were all too relatable and the whole book had an 80s movie feel. But you know. With modern technology.
The book was totally goals for me even though I could never be able to reach that goal because I have always been like STRANGER DANGER when it comes to actually talking to people online. I DO have online friends.

Ange, Jo, Mads, Jenny, Pam

And I do wonder how I let them into my life without freaking out, I guess sometimes you just click. Just like Madi did with Laurent. If you have an online best friend, then you yourself know that exact feeling. I mean, the hour long seminars that they would give us in schools about strangers online are kind of hard to not think about at first.
This book made me happy, im sure im not the only one who has ever wished their life was an 80s movie, my personal favorite, Can't Buy me Love and Back to the Future. This book however, has proved something to those readers that we all want to hear. You dont need to live in the 80s to live your 80s romance.



And that, makes me happy... Even after having an hour long calc test, not having had enough time to finish it and failing it... So... You know... This book achieved the impossible

Trollers gonna troll, a book you are gonna love! Internet famous is such a cute story about first love, teenage dreams and cyberbullying. I stayed up all night reading. I just could not put it down! The plot of the story is very relatable. The author portrayed the life of a blogger at its best, with its ups and downs. Maddie, a famous blogger, becomes cyberbullying victim when a Troll threatens to destroy not only her blog but her real life as well. Cyberbullying is no joke, and happens more often than you know. The author did an amazing job addressing this issue while delivering a captivating story.

The main characters are well developed and very realistic.Maddie could easily be my best friend and Laurent is already my next book-boyfriend *heart emojis*. The sister, the mom, the dad, every character has is own story and personality.

I also enjoyed the layout of the book! I don't usually praise the layout of a book, but Internet Famous' layout is something I have never seen before. The texting and the photos suck you right in the story until you feel like you are right there! You'll see when you read it :).

I loved All the Feels by Danika Stone so I was very excited to read Internet Famous! If you read All the Feels, this is similar in the way that Stone takes you into a world that is full of technology and techno savvy teens. Madi is running a blog and facing a troll who is out to destroy the safe universe that she has created. with the help of her new friend, Laurent, Madi needs to figure out how to make it though to graduation and best this troll at his own game. The story is good, it is believable and very applicable to the lives of many of my teenage students. But, for me the really great story was between Madi and her sister. to see this relationship, the struggle between a girl who is trying to live her life and at the same time protect her sister from the things that are difficult to deal with, was really beautiful and heartbreaking. the guilt Madi faces when she tries to be selfish and the moment she fights with her father about her sister are really well written and heartbreaking. It was refreshing to see a character with her struggles presented in such a positive light, not as a burden to her family, but someone in their family that they just need to spend a different kind of energy on. I am a huge fan of Danika Stone and her writing, this didn't disappoint! Great romance, good mystery and strong relationship!
