Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Michelle on May 02, 2016

Going into this story I had never heard off Lele Pons, nor Vine for that matter. This is a fictional story of her life through high school. I decided to read this book because it is co-written by author Melissa de la Cruz. Lele Pons is a teenage girl in high school. Not too popular but tries to not......more

Goodreads review by Mehsi on December 07, 2016

This was such a fun book! I had the chance to promote this book in April (Book Blitz), and ever since then I have wanted to read this book, and I finally had a chance to do so! At times it was a bit confusing (as I still have no clue what Vine is, or how it works, not because I am ancient, but because......more

Goodreads review by Becky on May 06, 2016

Entertaining, in a train-wreck kind of way--it's hard to stop reading, even when Lele goes a little (okay, more than a little) bit off the rails. Short, short chapters (a la James Patterson) make it a really fast read. If you're a fan of Lele on Vine, you'll probably really enjoy it. If you've never......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on July 05, 2016

I personally loved this book because I felt as if I'd written it. The author, Lele Pons, is from Venezuela and the same age as me so I related to almost every single thing she wrote. I'm pretty convinced we are actually soul sisters. I wouldn't say it is insanely well written, it's very colloquial-......more
