![]() ![]() The misogyny is strongly shown with all the hate Rachel receives from her peers and strangers. People from school and even people who don’t know her insult everything, from her hair to her body size to calling her derogatory names to even death threats. ![]() Rachel goes through a ton of harassment and bullying online for posting the picture. The plot was paced well and didn’t lag.īut I had such a huge problem with the fact that a lot of serious messages were glossed over or left unresolved. All of her characters were special and didn’t seem like carbon copies of someone else. Gagnon is a great writer, she creates unique voices for each of her characters and they’re both very real teenagers and could totally be someone you knew from school. ![]() And I did get this, along with a side of fries, cupcakes, and burgers.īut there were parts about the plot that just nagged at me which I couldn’t let go. I came in looking for a cute contemporary romcom filled with fluff, blushes, and all sorts of sweet snippets. Based off of Alex from Target, #famous by Jilly Gagnon is a contemporary love story about a Rachel who takes an innocent picture of her crush Kyle when he’s working, posts it on ‘Flitter’ as a joke to her best friend, and then it goes viral.īut fame isn’t everything for both Rachel and Kyle’s side of the coin and they’ve got to learn to navigate the viciousness of other’s words and the pressure to be enough as they fall in love with each other. ![]()
