BLURB:
High school senior and internet sensation Madison Nakama seems to have it all: a happy family, good grades, and a massive online following for her pop-culture blog. But when her mother suddenly abandons the family, Madi finds herself struggling to keep up with all of her commitments.
Fandom to the rescue! As her online fans band together to help, an online/offline flirtation sparks with Laurent, a French exchange student. Their internet romance—played out in the comments section of her MadLibs blog—attracts the attention of an internet troll who threatens the separation of Madi’s real and online personas. With her carefully constructed life unraveling, Madi must uncover the hacker’s identity before he can do any more damage, or risk losing the people she loves the most… Laurent included.
REVIEW:
An adorable and fluffy read that focuses on a blogger who is haunted by a troll who is focused on putting her down. The plot went by really quickly and with the fandom element and blogging, it was relatable.
Madi’s character was relatable through her internet life. Her family life was an interesting element of the story and a enjoyable part. The multimedia aspect of the story assisted to move the book along.
There is more pressing and current issues explored within this book too. Such as cyberbullying and the impact of this on people. Autism is also discussed in this book as Madi’s sister is diagnosed with Autism. The impact of Autism on the individual and the family are important elements of this book.
A fun storyline with hard hitting topics that are explored. The family relationships and internet lie drive the book, making for a quick read.
