Internet Famous Danika Stone Books

I found out about Danika Stone after reading All The Feels and couldn't wait to read another fandom-y YA novel from her. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as All the Feels, but this was still great and important. The novel focuses on Madi, an internet famous blogger, who's dealing with falling for an Internet friend, graduating from high school, and dealing with a troll on her blog. It tackles some serious subjects (doxing, copyright infringement, online relationships, etc.) but is sweet, light, and enjoyable. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who's involved in fandom, especially if you liked Stone's All The Feels.

Internet Famous Danika Stone Books Reviews

**Review originally posted on My Fangirl Chronicles**

I thought the Nakama household's family dynamic was interesting. Madi's parents were mostly inattentive in the beginning of the book and, at that point, it seemed like the only one trying to keep everything running smoothly in the household was Madi, especially when it came to Sarah's needs. I couldn't really understand how their mother could be so selfish and irresponsible and just abandon her family like that; she was probably my least favorite of them. I do appreciate the fact that their parents had semi-active roles in the story rather than just being mentioned in the beginning then suddenly being forgotten entirely and never seen again. Madi and Sarah were my favorite characters among their family because I loved seeing how their sisterly relationship changed and grew throughout the story. Like Madi, I'm really close to my younger sister as well and can be very protective. It was heartwarming to see how far they had come from the beginning of the book to the end; how, no matter their conflicts and occasional frustrations, their closeness and bond remained the same and as strong as ever.

I liked Madi and found that I could really relate to her for several reasons. Firstly, she's a blogger like me! While I was reading this book I also happened to do a re-watch of a show, live tweeted it, then did a blog post about it - just like Madi does for her blog, MadLibs. I couldn't help but find the similarity amusing, especially since it was completely unintentional. Fortunately, I don't get a million hits per post because I don't think I could handle being "Internet Famous" like she is. Haha Secondly, she is immersed in fandoms and social media, just like me and many other young people in our society. I have only begun to read stories that involve fandoms and I'm gradually realizing that they hold a soft spot in my heart because, being a self-proclaimed fangirl since birth and fangirl blogger, I can relate to it so much. Like Madi, I can't imagine myself ever not being involved with social media and fandoms. After all, it's a fangirl's life for me! ;)

I am also way better with online and written communication than I am with face-to-face interactions because I can be so awkward and get anxious around new people, so I completely understood Madi's apprehension and anxiety. She is also very insecure about herself, which I not only found relatable but realistic of a girl her age. Even though Laurent constantly tells her otherwise and showers her with reassurances, Madi still doubts her self-worth and keeps wondering why Laurent is even interested in her. To her, Laurent is "perfect" while she is just a "huge nerd", as if that was reason enough for their relationship to not make sense.

The romance between Madi and Laurent was so sweet and, at times, hilariously awkward, especially during their first video-chat session. The little snippets of texting conversations, tumblr reblogging, tweets, and Snapchat photos were adorable and refreshing to see. Their virtual dates were so cute, I had to stop and fangirl a bit (why can't guys in real life be that sweet and apologetically romantic?!). I also feel that the photos also brings more life to the characters and helped tell the love story between Madi and Laurent because they first met through social media after all. There were moments when I felt as if Laurent was too perfect, however, and some of his dialogue seemed unrealistic for a teenage boy. Then again, I've never met French teenage boys so maybe the difference in cultures has something to do with that? I will admit that it is refreshing to see a guy be completely honest with his emotions, not embarrassed to be romantic, and unencumbered with the need to look "cool". And can I just mention real quick and without spoilers that the ending was the. cutest. thing. ever!

I couldn't really guess who the troll was right away, probably not until I was halfway or past halfway through the book, but when it was finally revealed I literally whisper-shouted (because my sister was asleep), "I knew iiiittt!! I knew it was you!!"). The mystery behind the true identity of the troll harassing Madi gave a nice flavor of suspense to the story, but I do feel like a lot of drama could have been avoided if she had just taken her own advice and ignored it. It was frustrating to see her always get riled up by something the troll posted (he's just wants a reaction from you, girl), do what she precisely warned Laurent not to do (reply and provoke him further), then freak out over the escalating angry messages that always followed. I wondered if she even heard herself when she said that to Laurent or simply allowed her temper to get the best of her and she just forgot her own advice. Who knows. This situation, however, seemed believable because not every kid or teenager out there is going to know how to react to or deal with a cyberbully. No one should have to, but it does happen, so I'm glad this book perfectly and realistically displays and identifies cyberbullying; how it can start and then get progressively worse until it becomes not only unsettling, but downright terrifying.

I like Danika's writing style and how she wrote Madi's voice. It's light and simple but engaging, and the change from prose to Madi's blog posts really added to the realism of her character. There were very few, minor mistakes, but I recall one particular instance where the point of view suddenly switched from Madi to Laurent in the middle of the scene. It was confusing and jarred me out of the flow of the story.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading "Internet Famous". As per usual, I was drawn to it mainly because of the lovely cover, but the story itself is why I enjoyed this book so much to give it 4 stars. It's a really cute, heartwarming, and fluffy contemporary (perfect for summer!) about first love, family, friendship, and fandoms. But it also addresses an important issue prevalent in today's society, especially among the youth cyberbullying, and does so in a realistic and honest way. It's perfect for anyone involved in fandoms and/or blogging, or any form of social media, really. Or if you're just a fan of sweet YA contemporaries like I am. ;)
I signed up for the Sunday Street Team for Danika’s last YA book, so I had to sign up for this one. As I stated in my review of her last book, I’m a huge believer in fandoms. And while this book was less fandom-y, I still really enjoyed it. I received a copy from Netgalley to review, and ended up giving this book 4 out of 5 stars.

One thing I should mention off the bat is the kinship I felt with Madi. I have a hard time interacting with people outside of the internet as well, at least initially. I am very introverted and I don’t open up until I really know someone. So yay for a main character I can relate to. And let me just say that I fully appreciated Laurent and his French self. *drools* Such a fine specimen of YA/NA male goodness. He’s going on my book boyfriend list.

Before I go any further into what I loved about Laurent, and some other characters, let me just say that I really disliked Madi’s mother, and an authority figure who I’ll refer to as She Who Must Not Be Named. The authority figure was kind of an evil witch, and Madi’s mother needed to get her head out of her butt in my opinion. Gross image, but so true. I’m kind of glad she was MIA throughout most of the book. #sorrynotsorry

Madi’s sister, Sarah, was a great secondary character. I loved how Madi interacted with her most of the time, and how they helped one another (mostly Madi helping Sarah, but Sarah came through for Madi in her time of need against the troll). Speaking of the troll, I pretty much knew who it was from the moment they started trolling. Not sure if everyone else who read this is in the same boat, or if I’m just a great guesser. I’m curious to know. So the big reveal was more of an affirmation of my suspicions. I always want to be surprised by books, and it rarely happens.

Okay, so lets talk about Laurent. He’s gorgeous, geeky, artistic, and speaks French at random times. I had to translate like a quarter of what he said, but seriously, I want someone to speak French to me all day, every day. He’s beyond perfect, the whole package. The flirtation between Madi and Laurent is half the reason why I couldn’t put the book down. There were some serious sparks between these two. And to kind of get off topic, but not really, I liked how Madi’s dad encouraged her to be with Laurent. He knew that Laurent made Madi happy, and he wanted her to have something that kept a smile on her face. Yay Madi’s dad! His parenting (later in the book) made up for her disaster of a mom.

I didn’t keep track of any lines, because the ones I wanted to save were mostly French…and kind of gave things away. Just read the book so you can swoon over Laurent too!

Final note Another great book from Danika. Also, in case anyone is confused by the YA/NA tags, I think the subject matter is within the YA category. But with Madi being 18, and Laurent being in college, they’re NA aged. I can’t wait to see what Danika comes up with next. P.S. The ending of this book is seriously swoony.
This book was not what I thought it would be. I really did injoy it though. The characters are really well written. The plot made me laugh and smile . Over all the story made me a little stressed. Would I read it again? No because i didn’t get attached the book.
Torn between 3.5/4.

What attracted me to read this book was the fact that it revolve around a blogger who watched shows and films. I really liked that idea and I wasn't disappointed on that aspect of the book. It even pushed me to start blogging again on my blog. I hope I can keep it consistent.

Some of the topics discuss in the book (cyber bulling, parental pressure, sibling responsibility) were discuss responsibly, which I really enjoyed.

A book I would recommend to check out if you enjoy contemporary.
Just not for me! The concept behind the story was awesome, but the writing fell completely flat and there was just so much that felt inconsistent.
