Thank you so much to Amberjack Publishing and NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I actually really really liked this book which actually surprised me. This isn’t my typical genre of book and I haven’t read a book like this since I was a teenager. I think since I have followed a couple of youtubers since they started is one main reason I liked this book so much. I loved the authors writing style and I loved the character of Claire.

Claire and her twin sister Poppy are YouTube stars that have been on the internet since their mom’s blog from before they were born. Their YouTube channel is focused on fashion, makeup, and tutorials and brands that want to sponsor them. While Poppy loves it and is constantly trying to make the channel better, Claire is tired of her every move being on the internet and is ready to call it quits which would mean disappointing her mom and her sister. Claire has never felt like she’s truly a part of the family and when she finds her mom’s old journals buried in a closet she finally realizes why. All Claire wants to do is go to college, continue her computer coding, and get to know the new guy in school better. She must make a big decision about whether she should continue to do what is expected of her or if she should start living her own life the way she wants to.

When I first read the synopsis for this book I didn’t think I would really enjoy it. This is a book I would have loved as a teenager and honestly thought I might be too old to read it. But then I started reading it and really enjoyed it. I’m so glad I found this author and hope to read more by her!

This book is about twins who have had their lives chronicled on their mother’s blog since birth and the trial and tribulations that came with it. This book was fine—nothing too special, but had the potential to be great if it was longer. Much deeper than what the cover portrays - isn’t such a cutesy story. I think teens will relate to the social media aspects to the story. We are getting an inside scoop as to what it’s like to be social media stars—the good and the bad. I also would have liked more of the YouTube/Instagram/blog content. I felt like it could have been given much more detail—don’t just tell us your making a YouTube video, show us how it’s done.

There were some really serious moments that weren’t treated with much care, almost as if the author just glossed over them. The author could have dived in more and flushed out those scenes, especially when it came to Claire and her mother. There needed to be more communication. The romance was a slow burn, done in a really incredibly sweet way, even though sometimes you just wanted to shake them both for being so clueless. All in all, I would give this a solid three stars.

I was sent this e-arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute little contemporary romance. The idea about living your whole life on social media is a scary one but I did feel at times Claire was a bit bratty. The relationship between her and Rafael was nice however there were moments where he really frustrated and their behaviour as a couple was kinda shitty. The familial bomb drops that occur felt a bit under developed and they could have been expanded on for a deeper character analysis. The book had heart but it felt weak at time.

This book for me was between a 3.5-4 stars. I loved all the characters and the character growth in this story was well written. In the beginning, I didn't love the sisters. I found them to be kind of annoying. But as the story progressed, Poppy and Claire became two sisters I love. The "plot twists" were predictable and I think that's what's bringing the rating down. But in the end, I would recommend this. TW: kidnapping

As a note, an e-galley of this novel was sent to me via Edelweiss by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way.

When I first requested Just for Clicks, I knew I would enjoy it. I just didn't know how much I would. I have to say, firstly, that I am really impressed with all the contemporaries that I've read so far in 2019. We're less than a month of our way through the new year and already, every single YA contemporary that I've read has been good and quite distinct in their own ways. Just for Clicks is no different and it's a blast.

I'll admit that I struggled, initially, with what I wanted to rate the book as. I bounced around from 3 to 3.5, to 4, and found I'd wanted to rate it somewhere around 4.5-5 by the time I processed it all. I really enjoyed the way that this novel made me feel--all warm and fuzzy and not unlike a release by Sarah Dessen, Susane Colasanti or Jenny Han. It's the type of contemporary novel that you finish quickly because it's impossible to not devour it.

There's this fondness that comes with Just for Clicks because you genuinely care about the characters in it. I didn't dislike anyone, aside from the foes that Claire and Poppy have met along the way. I liked that this showed more than just the perks of being famous online (the girls are both Youtubers who have a substantial following and have, quite literally, grown up in the eyes of a specific audience online) and really zeroed in on how stressful it could become for someone so young.

What I loved most about Just for Clicks was the relationship at the center of the book: the two sisters. I liked that no matter their differences, and no matter the big twist (I am not spoiling you guys!) that threatens to come between them, they remain sisters for life. I thought that the way McDowell portrayed these two was beautiful and honest.

Further, I like the care that she took in tackling heavier topics such as the weirdly invasive fans of the two teenagers; the overly pushy mother who is very much so a Kris Jenner like figure (only a bit more sympathetic) who has secrets of her own, and the way an attempt to kidnap the girls changed them at a young age and shaped them into who they are now.

Going into Just for Clicks I expected something lighter and less heartfelt than the book was in the end, and I've never been more thrilled. I came into Just for Clicks thinking that it would be another L.A. Candy or Girl Online, but it ended up being something else entirely.

I can't really compare it to anything other than the way that Krista and Becca Ritchie approach certain topics in their Addicted, Calloway Sisters and Like Us series. It's the type of story that seems overly fluffy upon reading the synopsis, but has a lot of soul to it. It was just fun and I cannot recommend it enough.

It took me several attempts to get into Just for Clicks but once I was hooked the book was hard to put down. I am sure my students will love it. I'm planning to add it to my classroom library. Thanks for the adventure Kara McDowell.

This book charmed the hell out of me! I think it's rare to find an 'internet book' executed this well, and it is clearly a world Kara Mcdowell understands intimately. Her characters are likeable, her twists genuinely surprising, and the form of the novel kept me interested throughout - the interludes between chapters are something I've seen attempted often, and never as successfully as this.

Full review to come closer to publication, but I loved it. Thoroughly charmed by Claire and Poppy and their lives. These are characters I'd like more of. Sequel please!

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

Claire and Poppy Dixon have been internet famous for their entire lives. Their mom has run a blog featuring their whole lives, and as teenagers, they started their own vlog. They have sponsors who send them more clothes than they could ever wear, get invited to New York's fashion week, and just crossed the threshold of 1 million followers. Poppy loves it. Claire, however, hates the online trolls, the strangers who know so many details about her life, and the fear of strangers since she and her sister were almost kidnapped when they were 9. When Rafael starts at their school after moving from India, Claire is eager for a chance to be just herself, apart from her online life.

I loved the relationship between Claire and Rafael. Despite her internet fame, Claire was relatable; she could be just as awkward as any teenager. I felt like we didn't get to know Poppy well. I know it was Claire's book, but there has to be more to Poppy than her desire to be an “influencer” online. Overall, it was a cute story.

Twin sisters Claire and Poppy are rising Internet stars thanks to their Mum blogging about their lives since they were born. Imagine all those cute but so embarrassing details open to strangers’ scrutiny just a click away. One day their Mum sets up a Youtube channel for them and off they go making their own name and building up their own brand. While Poppy loves it and sees the fame as a way of gaining power, Claire, the geeky web designer part of the duo, hates the pervasive lack of privacy brought by their stardom. When she meets a new boy during the school lunch hour, she can’t believe he doesn’t know who he is. For the first time in her life Claire has a clean slate and can finally satisfy her 'craving for freedom and anonymity’.
I loved the way this book touches on many issues relevant to teenagers.
First, there is the issue of identity. People who read the blog think they know who Poppy and Claire are, but Claire is conscious of the fact that the image, the brand, is carefully constructed. So, she rightfully questions ‘If I am not that, then who am I?’ We are so much more than a mere sum of other people’s opinions and images of us.
Then, there is the issue of privacy and consent. Claire’s mother chose to tell her story in her blog because it was her life, but she also involved her children and imposed her choice on them.
Thirdly, the issue of family: how do I stand out? How do I fit in? Does my Mum prefer my sibling to me? and if yes, should I feel resentful? Am I being selfish if helping my sister achieve her dream makes me feel miserable? Is family more about shared genetics or years of shared life? Despite the dark secret and evident lack of communication, family relationships in this book do ring true.
There were quite a few twists in the story which made the book so gripping.
I loved the slow-burn romance: the getting-to-know-you-as-well-as-myself’ part opening oneself up to rejection and the sweetest delight of being really listened to and understood.
Although I did feel the ending was a bit rushed and some of the secondary characters were flat and sketchy, this did not take away from my enjoyment of the book.
I found it refreshing and original and would definitely recommend it

Thank you to NetGalley and Amberjack publishing for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review Just for Clicks before its publication date.

I really enjoyed this debut novel from Kara McDowell! Fraternal twins Claire and Poppy grew up in the spotlight as the subjects of their mother's fashion/mommy blog. Now seniors in high school Claire dreams of a life with privacy away from her fame-obsessed mother and sister while Poppy is ready and willing to sign on the dotted line for a lifetime of money, fame, and influence.

I went into this thinking it would be a fairly shallow YA contemporary (not to say I didn't think I would like it) but was pleasantly surprised at how deep McDowell ventured and the plot twists which I did NOT see coming. Also, the love interest Rafael was just SO cute. Total book boyfriend material.

I think this is a strong debut and can't wait to see what else Kara McDowell writes in the future!

[Review to be published on thenerddaily.com on February 11th]

Kara McDowell’s debut novel invites you into the midst of twin sisters Claire and Poppy, whose lives have been chronicled online since the day there were born. Their mother is an internationally known mommy blogger who managed to build a brand by telling the world about her family. Now, as teens, Claire and Poppy have taken up the torch and have become famous vloggers. The only problem? Claire doesn’t want to be in the spotlight anymore. She craves a normal life away from the cameras, away from the prying eyes. But along with getting rid of those nuisances, what else might she lose?

Claire was such a fascinating protagonist – constantly thwarted by her sister and her mother whenever she expressed the wish to stay off camera. We got a good glimpse of why Claire doesn’t want her entire life laid out for everyone to see, and I kept finding myself rooting for her to get her wish and live a normal life away from people who pretend they know her just because they’ve read her mother's blog. I really enjoyed the way she was portrayed; especially her social anxiety issues felt very authentic and relatable – it is tough to realise that sometimes we see celebrities as these untouchable people standing on a pedestal and we forget that they are still humans, just like us, and deserve their privacy. McDowell dealt amazingly with the issue of modern fame in a world where everyone is always watching.

My favourite character by far was Rafael, a pure soul who doesn’t own a phone and sees Claire for who she is instead of who she presents online. There were some definite inconvenient misunderstandings that kept this slow-burn romance stretched out longer than it needed to be, but Rafael made up for it by delivering lines that made him extra swoon-worthy.

However, there are also a few things that didn’t quite work in this narrative. The secondary characters weren’t fleshed out; most of them were mentioned only in passing, without any features or traits to distinguish them. Olivia, who ultimately plays a fundamental role in the story, veers somewhere between honorary ‘mean girl’ and ‘girl next door’ without actually speaking more than ten sentences in the entirety of the novel – and she’s the most dynamic of the secondary characters.

Sadly, the same can be said about Claire and Poppy’s relationship. It is hard to believe these two are twins, seeing as it takes them almost up until the end to actually spend time together and talk about their problems. Poppy herself felt very one-dimensional as well – the only thing we ever get to hear from her is her wanting to gain more influence, and though her motive for that is quite altruistic, it still left something to be desired so the reader could relate to her.

There were also quite some inconsistencies during the course of the novel – some relating to a plot twist and that shall thus remain a secret. But there is a clear divide in the book, and Claire’s voice suddenly sounds quite different from the beginning. Especially towards the rushed ending, a tangible sentimentality creeps into the story that is at odds with every thought and interaction Claire has had thus far. The resolution, while satisfactory, felt a bit too easy and out of character for everyone involved.

Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading Just for Clicks. From the friends-to-lovers trope to addressing social anxiety and approaching a modern topic like vloggers and fame in the age of social media, this novel had a lot to offer. I think it had a lot more potential, but all in all, Just for Clicks is an enjoyable debut novel for fans of slow-burn romances.

Review to be posted in February on all sources mentioned on my profile.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

This book has been on my Netgalley Your Shelf for several months. I never was in the mood for this book, but I decided to just go for it. I knew if it wasn't now it would take me much longer, and I didn't want that.

So first half of the book: 4.5 stars. Second half: 1 star.

The first half of this book was really fun to read. We meet Claire, whose life is pretty muc hon the internet thanks to her mom. She has a vlog, gets clothes from sponsors, has to do all sorts of things. This sounds like a dream, but Claire is totally over it. She wants to live a normal life, not have to worry that anything she does will be online in a matter of minutes. She is tired of the comments, the harsh mails, the critique. She wants to be Claire. Given all we read in this book, I can imagine that she wants to step out. Her sister, Poppy, loves it, but you can see that Claire is happier to just be behind the scenes. I adored that she could code and that she maintained the website. I do love myself a coder girl!

Our girl meets with Rafael and she falls in love with him. But she is quite clumsy and at times says the wrong thing so for most of the book it is just all very awkward. At times I wanted to get into the story and just push her into Rafael's arm and get them to kiss already as it was clear both of them were interested in each other. I didn't like how Rafael went ahead and made that resume and then also read all about Claire's life. That is just a no-no. What did you think she would do when you gave her that resume. Teehee and be happy? Sorry no. She was just so happy to meet someone who doesn't know Claire from the vlogs, blogs, and mediastuff.

Eventually we find out a big secret about Poppy and Claire, and her life, already messy and chaotic, is falling further and further apart. I quite liked the twist, I have to say I already had a suspicion there was something off. Thank you to the writer for writing it so excellently.

However in the second part things fall apart. Instead of telling her mom, and yes confessing, that she knows about the big secret, she hoards it inside her. I was shouting at her to just talk to her mom. Come on, I am sure it will be a tearfest for a bit, but if you want answers you should ask your mom. She probably has all the information and can help you out further. Then there is the whole Rafael situation and the fact she is lying about things. Telling people she is with Jackson? Why?

Her already quite wonky relationship with her sister (as I would call it, you could see they had a good bond at times, but often she was very resentful towards her sister) turned even more sour when her sister wasn't that impressed with the big secret, and I was totally agreeing with her. Come on, it is not like you suddenly aren't x and y. <spoiler>Family is more than blood or genes.</spoiler>I also found it hilarious that she thought the internet world wasn't for her because of that secret. Um, people are different. Believe me, I have seen families with brothers and sisters who are totally polar opposites. One sister would totally be into make-up, the other didn't care. But oh well, whatever makes Clairebear happy I guess. :|

I also found it hurtful that she acted towards her mom like that. Yes, her mom is quite pushy. And yes, things happened because mom posted everything online, but it is still your mom. She still loves you, cares about you. Just wants the best for you. Just talk with her. Maybe ask someone else to be there for support, and talk.

Because that was also the problem I had with this book, no one talks. They all just crop it up. And then it is just waiting for the explosion, as these things crop and bubble and grow. For instance that whole contract thing? If you don't want it, then it is done. You shouldn't feel forced to sign it. I get that your sister is probably hurt by it, but I think she will get over it. If you just talk.

I also had expected a bit more vlogging/blogging/photoshoots. There were like 1 or 2, and maybe some mentions of things, but I just didn't get the full picture of it and that is a shame. Constantly we are reminded that they have to do a lot, have to post tons, have to communicate, yet we don't see anything happening.

And sorry, I found it a terrible idea what Claire did on the 22nd of November. Sorry, but you can't just pop by like that. You can't just do that. I am glad that Rafael is near, to talk some sense in her, because oh boy.. Sadly, sense isn't a thing that is in our girl's inventory.
Oh, boy, I didn't see that twist coming. I am sorry, but then I was totally doubting our girl's sanity. Who the hell would stay? Who the hell would just let their love interest leave? I wouldn't. No freaking way. Also, it was quite confusing as she went from wanting it and feeling sorry to being quite mean and rude. I wasn't sure what was going on, but dang that was confusing. Oh, and then she gets pissy when Rafael steps in and saves her. *sighs*

*sighs*More drama arrives and I was just so done with this book. Plus I found her real bitchy when her mom was so sweet to let the girls go to Disney. Man, if that was me, I wouldn't have minded say yes right there, even after a shitty day. I never been to Disney, but have wished to go since the one in Paris opened.

And some more drama, and then finally it all wraps up as pretty as a Christmas present. Sure, I was happy that they FINALLY talked, but it took way too long for me. And of course, suddenly, Claire is also OK with her mom's blog. Gee. That took you long enough. :| And of course, everything else also clicks together. Again, on the one hand I am happy, but really, it just didn't feel all too natural to me. Which is a shame. Plus, all of the sudden she does want to make vlogs? Um? Um? UM????

So yeah, strong start, weak finish. It is a shame. :(

I will give this book 3 stars, there were good moments, but sadly also not so good moments.

I enjoyed reading this book, it was a fast read. its cute, fun, a bit sad. I love how it deals with the family issues, like when you don't tell things that inside your head you will just misunderstand each other or when you lie that you do not care at all about something happening but deep inside of you, you care a lot. Moreover, the issue of fame, after reading this book and watch some youtubers, bloggers or instagramers and how their life is perfect and they are happy and i keep getting those questions, are they really happy, is their life really perfect? as well know we pose to smile for a picture and capture that moment post it online and wait for like, and the other part ho sees the picture thinks that our life is all lovey dovey and perfect.
I also loved the end when she preferred to keep the moment for herself not share it, it is okay to take pictures to remind you of a moment, but take it for yourself keep it for yourself it will make it much more valuable and you will feel happy whenever you see it. While posting it online you will keep waiting for likes and comments you may even get weird comment that will ruin everything and once you see that picture you feel bad about yourself. it is better to keep your life for yourself, exposing it to the internet will mean it is not your life anymore, it is everyone's life.
I recommend this book for everyone to read it.

I knew I was going to enjoy this book ever since I heard the synopsis.
What I didn't know was how much.

Just for Clicks is the story of two internet famous sisters named Claire and Poppy. Their mother was a famous mommy blogger who insisted her children start a vlog channel. As the years have gone by they've gone to fashion shows, dealt gained a big fanbase, done sponsorships, and more. Claire however is getting tired of the life unlike her sister and mother who adore it. Claire is determined to find a way to make it stop, but by doing so she might unlock a huge secret about herself and her family she never could have imagined.

I really enjoyed Just for Clicks. I really liked the identities of the sisters and how they both had their own taste and style. Claire was into coding and we got to go pretty in depth regarding her love of it and computers. I always appreciate women in STEM fields or who love STEM as female protagonists in YA books and I thought Claire was a great & complex character. You can feel for her and understand why she may feel scared or upset about being famous even if fame is something that many people would say is their dream.

I also really enjoyed the relationships in the book. The mother's relationship with her daughters was interesting and I really liked how the book showed character development for her. I also really like how we see Poppy and Claire's relationship evolve and how we get to see their contrasting viewpoints regarding their vlog channel. Claire has a really cute relationship with a boy named Rafael that you'll be shipping the second they have to stare at each other in the eyes for a in class assignment (it makes more sense in context). They are an extremely cute couple and I loved the chemistry they had together. I also liked that Rafael was more than a love interest and we got to see him back story too and how he and Claire have contrasting family relationships and how that impacts them and their romance.

The multiples twists in this book are ones I don't think anyone will see coming. I can't say much, but you will be shocked to say the least at some of the turn of events that occur within the pages of this novel.

Finally, I really enjoyed the different fonts and formats used in this book to help tell the story. We get to see pages of texts, emails, message board comments, and more. I really liked how they used this to help move the story along and even when the pages were filled with things we already knew had happened from the previous chapter, it was still nice to see and helped to show us a more in depth look at what the characters (especially Claire) were dealing with in their everyday life.

If I had to say somethings I didn't like in the book it was that I felt like the mother and daughter relationships could have been a little more in depth. I liked what we got, but a little more would've been appreciated. I also think that we could have used a little more information regarding what Poppy wanted to do with her life. While I enjoyed Claire's narration we knew she liked coding, but we didn't get as much regarding Poppy's like and what she wanted for the future except for fame, power, and popularity. I think that if the author wrote a sequel to this novel I would love to see the girls at college and how their lives are now after the events at the ending of the book (no spoilers).

This book is a fun look at a family dynamic that I never really thought of much. I am glad I picked this book up and I hope you do too.

Just for clicks tells the story of a set of twins, Claire and Poppy, whose mother has shared every aspect of their life on her extremely popular internationally known mommy blog. Now that they are teenagers, they have been expected to become famous social media vloggers in their own right. The only issue is that Claire doesn't want to be in the spotlight anymore, wanting more normalcy in her life. This causes some conflict between Claire and her twin sister, one that highlights their differences throughout the book. This is an adorable social media influenced story. It's a fast and fun read that I thouroughly enjoyed.

This was such a cute, pleasantly surprising book! I was initially interested because it seemed like a quick, fun read (which it was) but OH MAN- it was actually really great! Claire was a funny, interesting narrator and all of the characters had their own personalities. There's a lot of great friendships and relationships in this book that it's hard not to root for at least a couple. I really enjoyed Claire and Poppy's relationship throughout (most) of the book and though I agree with some other readers that the ending was a bit rushed, I like how it ended.

Also, there were some truly shocking twists in this. I did NOT see either of the two main twists coming at all and it really shook me up. The second twist is almost chilling- I honestly read the line and it felt like my heart stopped. I can't presently remember another line that I've read recently that affected me as much as this one did. Hopefully some other readers will know which one I'm talking about!

There were some instances in which I was really annoyed by what certain characters were doing- or not doing- so this book wasn't perfect. There were also a few cheesy moments (the second-hand embarrassment is REAL during a few parts) but I felt that it fit the book's overall vibe fine, so I was alright with it. It was also interesting to read more about the whole "Mommy Blog" lifestyle. I worked for a mommy-blog type company a few years ago and it was a LOT of work and at times very overwhelming, so I could relate to some of the things that happened in this book.

Overall, I was surprised by how much I liked this book and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cute, fast read!

Great YA book. This writing style reminds me of Meg Cabot’s books, which I just adore! I love a book about twin teenagers, and it is interesting to read about the con’s (Claire’s side)/ pros’s (Poppy’s side) about vlogging / having your whole life written about online by your mom. Being “internet famous” can have it’s drawbacks! My favorite quote from the book is "so where is the line between what is ok to share with the world and what isn't? Is there a line? Should there be?" Makes you think!

(Will post to Amazon reviews and goodreads once book is released.)

I think it had a lot more potential, but all in all, Just for Clicks is an enjoyable debut novel for fans of slow-burn romances.

I got in this book with no expectation whatsoever and I really enjoyed the read.

The story follows two twin sisters that are social media famous - it all started with their mom and her blog about the twins, and after they grew up they just went their "own way".

What I enjoyed most about this book:
- The bond between the sisters was amazing to see. I always loved sibling bond in books!
- The plot twist was really interesting. It talks about family love, sacrifices and what is more important than family.
- The slow romance, friends to lovers trope (LOVE IT!)
- The affect of social media in teenagers. That's such a important topic nowadays and it really needs to be addressed more!
- Social anxiety, general anxiety, anti-social behavior.... you name it, the author talks about it in this book.
- The fact that the author worried to add e-mails and texts in between chapters and they're related to what''s happening... so cool!

What I didn't enjoy:
- I still think that, even though it was explained in the end of the book the reasons behind it, Claire's mom is not very nice. This hurts me because I love mother-to-daughter bond and I miss it more in YA...
- The ending was resolved too quickly. Maybe a little more depth to what was behind all those picture/video leakage.

It was a very good book and I enjoyed a lot! Recommend this read for anyone who's looking to unwind and just read something relaxing!

I enjoyed my time reading this book. The only problems I had with it were that the numbers given didn’t add up to the amount of fame these girls had and that I started to really dislike our main character towards the ending. For the rest I would recommend this.
