    About this audiobook

    As featured in People Magazine, Seventeen, Tiger Beat and Glitter!

    Vine superstar Lele Pons—“one of the coolest girls on the web” (Teen Vogue)—teams up with #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz (The Isle of the Lost) in this charming debut novel about the ups and downs of high school that’s as laugh-out-loud addictive as Lele’s popular videos.

    Ten million followers and I still sit alone at lunch. Lele is a bullseye target at her new school in Miami until, overnight, her digital fame catapults the girl with cheerleader looks, a seriously silly personality, and a self-deprecating funny bone into the popular crowd. Now she’s facing a whole new set of challenges—the relentless drama, the ruthless cliques, the unexpected internet celebrity—all while trying to keep her grades up and make her parents proud.

    Filled with the zany enthusiasm that has made Lele into Vine’s most viewed star, this charming novel is proof that high school is a trip. From crushing your crushes (what’s up with that hot transfer student Alexei??) to throwing Insta-fake parties with your BFFs and moaning over homework (GAH) with your frenemies, high school is a rollercoaster of exhilarating highs and totally embarrassing lows. Leave it to Lele to reassure us that falling flat on your face is definitely not the end of the world. Fans of Mean Girls will love this fun and heartwarming fish-out-of-water story.

      Im giving this book a 4 because I think it’s really well written. However, I do take issues with her attempt at diversity. I do appreciate her attempt, but the main character’s point of view comes off to me like a stereotypical pov that Latin Americans are obsessed with the America of Hollywood, Blondes with blue eyes.

      Even the main character who is from I think if I remember correctly, Venezuela, or somewhere in Central America, is a blonde. She adds a Black character from the beginning who turns out seemingly there only to be a place holder and has no true value for the most part.

      In fact, there are beats where Lele is talking to the Black character and it’s almost like it’s not even a character that she’s talking to. It just sounds like words needed to be stated to move the story along. It’s like the main character is having a conversation with herself, pretending there’s someone there.

      Maybe that’s why I don’t even remember the Black character’s name, because in the book, she’s just the black girl who is there to be a black character.

      Even when characters are described, there were some really odd comments. Like she mentions how “boys’ hair” is, assuming that all boys have the hair type and texture of the boy she’s describing. I find that really strange coming from a Latina.

      I’m used to books being written this way, but adding the ever present, when needed, to hold a place black character makes it a bit odd, along with the infatuation with the Hollywood traits from a Latina, but thanks for trying to be cognizant of diversity, somewhat, I guess.
