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.
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.
