YF Highlight: Jilly Gagnon's "#famous"

 

You can find this book here.

This book not only focusses
on young adult life, but in particular social media and dating life. 

In Gagnon's book, Rachel takes a picture of a boy she likes and posts it on social media. The way it blows up on social media makes Kyle famous, but Rachel a target. 

The book is told from both the perspective of Rachel and Kyle, alternating each chapter respectively. The voices of the characters suit the age range, as does what seemed to be the behaviours and responses to situations. Like a lot of issues with relationships (romantic or otherwise), one things that always stands in the way is communication. So look out for how the characters communicate (or miscommunicate) with each other.
