Since Internet Famous is the second book I have read by Danika Stone, I had an idea of what to expect. I definitely wasn’t disappointed in this story of a blogger who is struggling with an internet troll. The main character is warmhearted and relatable, and there are actually serious topics discussed in the story. This is a cute and quick read that is perfect for the summer.

This book is all about the life a teen blogger who a huge fanbase. She makes online friends who later become real life friends, but her fame isn’t all sunshine. Madi finds herself getting harassed by an internet troll who is capable of ruining her life, online and offline. Throughout the book, there are text messages, Tumblr posts, tweets, and Snapchats, which I found to be so entertaining. If you are a fan of fandom and internet books, especially Dankia Stone’s previous book, All the Feels, you will definitely enjoy Internet Famous.

I really enjoyed Madi’s character. She is a diligent blogger, a strong online student. and just so relatable. Madi is so caring towards her dad and her autistic sister, and is able to handle a situation when things go wrong. I loved her awkwardness and compassion, and she seemed so real to me. One of my favourite things about Madi is the fact that she actually acts like a teenager. I hate it when a YA character sounds like an old lady, so I’m glad that this book avoided that.

While Internet Famous seems like a light and fluffy read, there are actually serious topics discussed in the book. Cyberbullying plays a big part in this story, and it is so important to understand how to deal with an internet troll when it gets serious. Also, the main character’s sister has autism, and I feel like this book does a good job of portraying the importance of routine and what it is like if drastic changes occur. This book has the perfect balance of sweet and significant content, which I absolutely adored.

Internet Famous is the story of a teen blogger who is awkward and caring. It perfectly balances fluff and important topics, which I admired. I would recommend this to those looking for a good, current read this summer. ...more

Internet Famous is a young adult standalone by author Danika Stone. I loved Danika's previous novel, All the Feels so much, so when I saw that her latest novel was about a blogger, I knew this was another fandom-centric novel that I was going to really enjoy. And I really did enjoy Internet Famous. Not quite as much as I loved All the Feels, but I thought Internet Famous was a great read. It was fun in a different way than I expected it to be.

In Internet Famous, our main character, Madi is a famous movie and tv show blogger. She does these live re-watches of all kinds of movies and tv series that sound epically awesome! I want to find a blogger that does something similar, because I really love the idea! I enjoyed Madi. She is a normal girl with her own set of teenage issues that made her very relate-able. I loved that the book spoke the jargon of fandoms and internet communities. The glossary at the start of the book was a brilliant and really fun idea.

At first glance, this book looks like a ton of fun, which it is but it also deals with some pretty serious issues- like cyber bullying, hacking and various family issues as well. Madi is wonderfully teenage. Meaning she is not perfect at all. She over-reacts sometimes, she makes mistakes, but throughout all of it, she is an admirably hard worker. Honestly, I respected the way she treated her blog. (Yes she made some mistakes in her past. but you have to read on in the book to find out what they were and if they are haunting her present.) but who hasn't? I loved her relationship with her special needs sister, Sarah. Sarah might have been my very favorite character in the whole book. I loved her. And speaking of other characters, my only annoyance with Internet Famous was Madi's mom. She was awful, and Madi seemed to be getting the brunt end of stick for calling her mom out on being so absentee. Why was it Madi's responsibility to pick up all the slack when it came to Sarah? I'm over crappy parents in general in young adult stories. It is such a pet peeve of mine. But putting my feelings for Madi's mom aside, I loved the mixture of sweet first romance with geekiness galore that we got in Internet Famous. No one writes stories full of fandom goodness quite like Danika Stone. This book will be perfect for fans of Geekerella and All the Feels.

I loved Internet Famous. It was exactly what I was looking for in a fun story about an internet famous blogger, and it was an extra unexpected surprise in the direction that Danika Stone took the story of. I am such a fan of her books. She is an auto-buy author for me, for sure.

Internet fame has a price. When Madi's "real life" hits a rough patch, she feels her whole world crumbling.

Lesson learned. Never expect too much on what you want it to happen in a story. Ever.

The fact that I almost Dnfed this because the first half bored me to death. This was originally intended to be rated 2 1/2 stars but then I decided to make it a 3-star rating because literally the second half has been improved and it wasn't that bad in my opinion.

Internet fame has a price. When Madi's "real life" hits a rough patch, she feels her whole world crumbling.

Lesson learned. Never expect too much on what you want it to happen in a story. Ever.

I thought this would be an exciting mystery after reading the summary, it got me to buy this book. But then, there comes the expectation downfall. This *SIGHS* actually turned out to be a mystery-adventure-turned-romantic-cliche-plot. It's the truth if you guys were planning to read this book. You'll definitely get the idea on what I'm implying here.

Madi Nakama who created this blog named after her. She became internet famous because of her posts based on the movies that she had watched during only her free time. And thanks to that, she regained a lot of followers. But then, Madi's personal life has been at stake followed by an unexpected anonymous post coming from a unknown troll who'll do anything to get its hands on her.

This book drove me in circles. Not only was the plot a bit confusing from the beginning and the main conflict being left out, but there were supporting characters, like Madi's other friends and Sarah's classmates(I forgot their names, oh well, who gives a damn), mentioned in the book that weren't brought up much other than being online every time after meeting with Madi for only one occasion. And even Madi's mother doesn't show that she had displayed genuine care all the time until she did in the last minute when Madi is in school jeopardy with her English project.
"This is far beyond a simple error. Our daughter, Madi, hasn't done anything wrong."

Madi's love interest. Hell no. I don't want to talk about the romance. It has got to be the most cheesiest thing I've ever read. This is another example of wanting a good romance but it already helps me figure out who it is thanks to it for being predictable and obvious.

When I mentioned "cheesiest," I meant the interaction they had both shared.
Check this simple dialogue example: (online message ver.)
"I'm warming up to u"
"good. I'll keep warming myself up to you, too."

Anyway, let's just say that I'm so glad that I'm done with this book. I don't think I would even share it as the best read for me. But rather, a disappointing read.

Let me start off by saying that the synopsis of this book is absolutely precious. When I read it, I knew I had to have it. As someone who’s been on the internet most (almost all) of my life, I’ve had my own fair share of online romances, and I’ve undergone my fair share of trolling, as well. I love the idea of such a modern love story: girl meets boy online, girl falls for boy online, etc. This book handles that concept delightfully. There are text message exchanges, tweets, tumblr reblogs, and Let me start off by saying that the synopsis of this book is absolutely precious. When I read it, I knew I had to have it. As someone who’s been on the internet most (almost all) of my life, I’ve had my own fair share of online romances, and I’ve undergone my fair share of trolling, as well. I love the idea of such a modern love story: girl meets boy online, girl falls for boy online, etc. This book handles that concept delightfully. There are text message exchanges, tweets, tumblr reblogs, and even Snapchat dates. The formatting is just fantastic, and I am such a sucker for these kinds of things.

That said, the writing and the way the story unfolds needs a little work. I found that the writing itself felt young, as did Madi (well, more so than I expect when thinking of high school seniors). Her interactions with Sarah were the most difficult to read. Sarah is on the Autism spectrum, and routine is very key for her. Despite the fact that we are frequently reminded by Madi that Sarah’s routine MUST NOT BE INTERRUPTED, Madi herself interrupts that schedule a few times with little to no repercussions or guilt. More than once, my heart ached a little for how devastated Sarah was, but Madi seemed disconnected from it. While I’m sure that this was a realistic portrayal for many people who have autistic siblings that they primarily take care of, it did bother me, but I didn’t take points off for the rawness.

Madi and Sarah’s parents, on the other hand, were infuriating. We are introduced right into the realization that their mother is leaving the country in a few days, with no warning at all, to take up a temporary teaching job at Oxford University. She has no concern about her children at all, citing over and over again that the girls need to “grow up”. Charles, their father, seems equally unruffled, though we are told that this is a ruse to hide his inner turmoil. Façade or no, Charles needs to get off of his ass and take care of his daughters, instead of hiding behind his laptop 24/7. I raged!

As far as the romance of the book goes, it’s adorable and cheesy (usually in a good way), but Laurent feels like such an overdone character from the moment we meet him. He’s incredibly kind, honest, hot, well-dressed, intelligent, artistic, and French. He has no flaws that we ever become aware of, and Madi’s interactions with him in the first half or so of the book feel like a star-struck schoolgirl with a crush, which is painfully awkward at times.

The troll is the dramatic antagonist of the book, and he plays the part of the typical misogynistic, bratty, “friend zoned” teen boy to the bitter end, complete with remarks about “SJWs” and “stupid feminists”. It was a realistic enough portrayal of many guys that I’ve met over the years, so that was worthy of a few laughs and eye rolls. Madi’s reactions to him are a bit tiring, though. She constantly fusses at her friends if they stick up for her - as true friends are wont to do - but she can’t let the troll peep so much as an emoji at her without an over-the-top, angsty reply (and a threat to block him – in almost every response).

All in all, while the book didn’t pass with flying colors for me, each aspect still had something enjoyable to it. My favorite part of the book was the representation of Sarah’s disorder, which never felt like it was being used as a crutch. As someone with a loved one on the spectrum, I was relieved to see that Sarah’s “otherness” was addressed, yet not exacerbated by the narrative. The author’s note said that Danika herself has a special needs son and works with special needs children in the school system, and I felt like that was very evident in how honestly she portrayed Sarah’s disorder – so I’d like to offer a huge thank you to Danika for that.

While I’m not sure that I would rush to read this one again, I will say that it made for a pretty enjoyable way to spend an evening. There are a few risqué comments, but nothing over the top, so I would feel comfortable recommending this to younger teens. Any young, geeky girl would be able to relate to Madi’s love for the internet and pop culture, as well as the frustrations Madi faces as a woman on the internet. As far as older teens and adults go, I would probably only recommend this if you genuinely enjoy cheesy and fluffy contemporaries.

Note: I was sent this ebook from the publicist in exchange for an honest review, but my thoughts are 100% my own! ...more

There are texts, blog posts, tweets, and pictures interspersed with the text. I really liked the alternative format but it may not appeal to all readers. Internet Famous also dealt with some serious topics that I hadn’t expected to see. The main character was relatable and funny and the fandom focus appealed to the nerdy side of me.

I loved that Madi wasn’t a perfect character. She occassionally struggled with her responsibilities and made mistakes throughout the book. It was really easy to connect with her because she felt like a real person. Plus it was nice to read about a main character who sometimes prefers interacting with people online instead of in real life. While I think it was unfair that her parents gave her so much responsibility in regards to Sarah, Madi mostly handled it in a mature manner. I did love that her parents truly went to bat for her when it mattered. The relationship between her and Laurent was as adorable as I thought it would be. I wish that there had been more scenes with them together in person but I understand why that didn’t make sense given the storyline. He was a little too perfect but given the genre, I hadn’t really expected anything else.

I originally thought that this was going to be a light and fluffy read and so was very pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of Sarah, Madi’s special needs sister, and the portrayal of the effects of cyberbullying. I think the author realistically portrayed the struggles of a family with a special needs child while also writing Sarah as an understandable and likeable character. Some of the small moments between her and Madi were my favorites in the book, particularly toward the end. The cyberbullying was entirely believable and disturbing. The author did a great job of showing how it slowly chipped away at Madi’s life, going from an annoyance to affecting every aspect of her life.

I’ll probably save this one and reread it on a day when I need a pick-me-up type of book because this one left me feeling happy and optimistic. Internet Famous was the perfect balance between lighter and heavier topics. It would be perfect for a summer or beach read.

MadLibs is her blog where she shares her opinions on rewatches of different films. Madi has a very large fan base but likes to keep to herself. She takes classes online, and helps take care of her younger sister, Sarah, who is on the spectrum. Sarah has a hard time if things don't go by a set schedule, so that tend to keeps Madi from living her life.

This story touches on the issue of cyberbullying, which I think is really important. Madi has to deal with a internet "troll" writing cruel things on her blog, and also sending her hateful messages. Things with the troll escalate and we are left wondering who the troll could be. If I'm being honest, I had a pretty good feeling I knew who it was from the very beginning, so I ended up not being too surprised. I just loved that the author tackled this subject since it is a huge obstacle with teens right now in the age of computers. (Wow, I feel like I just aged myself with that sentence. lol!)

There were a lot of things that I really enjoyed about the story. I really loved the way the author showed the text message images and pictures that Madi and Laurent exchanged. It was such a fun way to break up the text and show their conversations. I loved getting to read their flirty texts back and forth. I also really loved Madi and Sarah's close relationship. I thought the way the author wrote about Sarah was really realistic. She needed things to be in a certain routine, but she didn't let anything hold her back either. She was very intelligent and thoughtful.

There were also a few things that I didn't love quite as much. When we learned that Madi's mom was leaving the family to further her career, and didn't take into account anyone else's feelings OR how it was going to effect her daughter that relies on routines; I thought we would see the father or someone confront her about her selfishness but she was never called out on her behavior. That really bothered me. She came off as very cold and unfeeling. She pushed all of her parental responsibilities on Madi, and so did the father to a point. That drove me crazy. I have to say that I did LOVE the change in the father as the story progressed tho. At the start of the story he just seems withdrawn and oblivious, but he really won me over by the end.

Her whole experience with blogging was fun to read about and her ever growing fanbase is amazing and inspiring. I love how the book would have text messages, emails, and pictures. It was a very entertaining and engaging read.

Madi has a sister named Sarah who is on the spectrum. I LOVED how Danika included a character with Autism because I work with children with Autism and I am always looking for a book with a character on the spectrum that is actually correct. I find that with a lot of books that feature a character on the spectrum the characteristics and behaviors of the child aren't believable or very exaggerated. Sarah is believable though. All of the characteristics of Sarah were true and I was able to understand and connect with her because I have worked with children like her that are rigid about schedules, do not like new experiences or changes, and do not like being hugged (although the kids I have worked with love hugs). They are also INSANELY smart and honest. Like brutally honest. If you ask their opinion on something they'll give their honest answer without a second thought.

I liked how Danika included a character with Autism but she wasn't the main focus of the story. It was very interesting to be inside Madi's mind and she is able to tell us the experiences she has with a sibling with special needs.

I LOVED Laurent. He was an interesting and fun character. He was so funny and it was cute how literal he sometimes was seeing as French was his first language. I liked how he was always there for Madi even though she didn't know that he was a guy at first. He was a good guy character for Madi to fall in love with. I enjoyed the scenes he was in and the "dates" he would go on with Madi. Their relationship was so real and relatable especially when they first started going out.

This book brings up the important subject of cyber bullying. The MC, Madi, is being cyber bullied online and it is not okay but it happens to teens especially now when social media is a big part of everyday life. The way she handles it is the way anybody would handle it. There was one aspect of the cyber bullying that I think was very dangerous, but she was able to handle being cyber bullied earlier in life too. I find her strong for being able to handle it the way she did.

One of the things I did not like was the short hand texting she would do, but that is a personal preference. I don't text shorthand with acronyms so I don't like reading it in books.

Out of the things that I liked and disliked the positives outweigh the negatives. This was a great book about cyberbullying and being able to overcome it. It was also had a character with Autism that is real and honest. I highly recommend this book to others that are looking for a fun and interesting read that looks into the life of an internet famous blogger. ...more

This was a fun, light book to read despite the issues I had with it.

First let's start with the things I liked:
- FANDOMS
- Online friendships
- Hot French guy *wiggles eyebrows*
- Pop culture
- Madi's blog was cool af

That's basically about it.

Now off to the things that I had a couple of issues with:
- Madi acted like a dick towards her sister unnecessarily sometimes, I mean yeah dealing with someone who has any sort of mental illness or special needs is exhausting when everyone expects you to handle ...more

In Internet Famous, blogger Madi's life does a complete 180. At first, she has it all: a lovely family, perfect school life, and really big online following on her MadLibs blog. However, it soon changes when her mam walks out, and an online troll starts to threaten her. She has always kept her real and online lives separate, and this hacker is threatening to bring them together, which could have huge repercussions, not least that fact it could hinder her chances of graduating high school. Her fi ...more

I thought this was a very cute story about what can happen when the internet and our real lives start to collide in unexpected ways. The romance was very cute, and I love how Danika Stone always manages to create the nerdiest love stories that I just can't get enough of.

Madi was an interesting character. I loved how she had created this unique online presence and turned it into a full-on franchise. She's definitely a good role-model for young girls, which I think is so so important in ...more

Cute at times. But I had some problems with the writing/dialogue. Plus the MC came off as selfish more times than not. There was a lot of me me me when it came to the romantic relationship.
I did really like her relationship with her sister, who's on the autism spectrum. I felt like it was a good representation.

You know those books that have amazing plot and writing but all is ruined because of a certain annoying naive and bitchy main character? Yep here's one.

*Rubs forehead* Succinctly?

"Reasons why people hate tumblr and fandom, summarized into one (shockingly dull) book."

Madi reads as one of those Tumblr kids who's deluded themselves into thinking that blogging is OH SO IMPORTANT MAN. And for the love of GOD, you realize the whole "everyone on the internet is a predator" thing comes from kids ACTUALLY MEETING PREDATORS IN REAL LIFE AFTER MAKING CONTACT ON THE INTERNET, RIGHT?

And yet Madi just goes ahead and meets this guy because, as a teenager, s ...more

Now when I first heard about this last year, I thought it sounded great! Its about a blogger named Madi, living in New Jersey and a foreign exchange student named Laurent, who lives in New York. These two meet through the comments section of Madis blog, MadLibs, and start to build a connection that has the potential to be something more. Meanwhile, Madis also facing adversity in the form of troll who is not in the mood to be ignored.

Its about a blogger named Madi, living in New Jersey and a foreign exchange student named Laurent, who lives in New York. These two meet through the comments section of Madis blog, MadLibs, and start to build a connection that has the potential to be something more. Meanwhile, Madis also facing adversity in the form of troll who is not in the mood to be ignored. Anyways, you know when you hype up a book in your mind and once you finally read it, it doesnt deliver in the way you expected it would? Well, this book did no such thing!

While the beginning might have been a bit slow for me, by the time I read a few chapters, I was hooked! I loved all the extra stuff, like the blog posts (made me want to participate in the Comments Section of MadLibs), tumblr and snapsed (the books equivalent of Snapchat) pictures! The sad thing was that I really wanted to follow MadLibs after reading this book. Too bad it isnt real but who knows, maybe therell be a site up for Madi soon like there is for Liv and Xander from All the Feels, Danika Stones previous YA novel! Hopefully!

I was also on the edge of my seat as I was trying to figure out who the troll could be! Honestly, I suspected everyone until near the very end; thats when it became clear. But it wasnt obvious to me before and I liked the author could hide that info so well! In real life, I wouldnt like it as much. Im just thankful that the community in a part of is so supportive and friendly! Thanks, everyone! You all are rockstars!

Another cool thing about this book is that its set in the same world as All the Feels, and you see these references to Starveil, Spartan and those amazing fanfics from that novel! And while those mentions were nice, it kind of made it hard for me to like the new set of characters at first, because I kept on comparing them to characters from All the Feels. For instance, at first I thought that Laurent is no Xander, but by the end of the book, I was thinking,Well, Xander sure is no Laurent! And while Madi and Liv share a few similarities, I find Madi to be more assertive than Liv, and I love the strong relationship she has with her sister, Sarah. Overall, once I got past seeing the characters through an All the Feels lens, I was championing them like nobodys business!

Well, thats all I have to say about Internet Famous by Danika Stone! I really thought this novel was something! I recommend this to anyone looking for a cute contemporary with a modern romance as well as any fans of All the Feels! ...more
