Summary
For fans of Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera， this is a riveting and irresistible take on love， life， and identity -- both online and off。
CeCe Ross is kind of a big deal。 She and her girlfriend， Silvie， are social media influencers with zillions of fans and followers， known for their cute outfits and being #relationshipgoals。
So when Silvie breaks up with her， CeCe is devastated。 She's lost her first love， and now she can't help but wonder if she'll lose her followers as well。
Things get even messier when CeCe meets Josh， a new boy in town who is very much Not Online。 CeCe isn't surprised to be falling for a guy; she's always known she's bi。 And Josh is sweet and smart and has excellent taste in donuts。。。 but he has no idea that CeCe is internet-famous。 And CeCe sort of wants to keep it that way。
But when CeCe's secrets catch up to her， she finds herself in the middle of an online storm， where she'll have to confront the blurriness of public vs。 private life， and figure out what it really means to speak her truth。

This book that is centered around bisexuality and social media influencers was one that I could not put down。 It was adorable and felt so very real。 I feel that book is one for our times and will appeal to many readers。 It is so important for #OwnVoices titles to be out there so teens and readers have a place to turn to。 The story takes you on a journey of where you learn that just becuase you think you know something doesn't mean you do。 That things are not always as they appear from real live This book that is centered around bisexuality and social media influencers was one that I could not put down。 It was adorable and felt so very real。 I feel that book is one for our times and will appeal to many readers。 It is so important for #OwnVoices titles to be out there so teens and readers have a place to turn to。 The story takes you on a journey of where you learn that just becuase you think you know something doesn't mean you do。 That things are not always as they appear from real live to the internet。 I loved Cece and just this entire story。 。。。more

While being an internet-famous teen influencer isn't in my wheelhouse at all， I really loved this novel。 I especially enjoyed the honest look at whether or not to keep toxic family members in your life， the unbiased look at the pros and cons of social media and how invisible the B in LGBTQIAP can be。 Very relevant in today's world。 4。5 stars。 While being an internet-famous teen influencer isn't in my wheelhouse at all， I really loved this novel。 I especially enjoyed the honest look at whether or not to keep toxic family members in your life， the unbiased look at the pros and cons of social media and how invisible the B in LGBTQIAP can be。 Very relevant in today's world。 4。5 stars。 。。。more

What a wonderful story about social media， relationships and acceptance of the full spectrum of sexuality。 This is a YA novel about bi acceptance and there are definitely some hurtful things said， so be careful reading if these are triggers for you。 However， the story arc is redemptive ❤️I also liked that while the perils of social media are blatant in the story， the power （especially for queer kids） is also defended。

The bisexual representation in this book - and as a focus point - was BEAUTIFUL。 I have never read a book with such an emphasis on bi-erasure and the toxicity of communities。 Tied in with how technology and social media influence everything and teenagers’ lives。。。I loved it。。。although the main character was obnoxious at some points with how she viewed social media。。。but that’s the point of it。

So I didn’t plan to finish this but I read the reviews and decided to give it another shot。 I’m glad I did。 The speech was powerful and I could see my students finding a lot of value in this book。 It was sweet。

This was a fun read。 Wasn’t sure if I was feeling all the hashtags throughout the book when they weren’t directed in posts， but the plot and the writing made this a nice and fast read for me。 It took me a while to realize the title is from a Kasey Mushraves song （probably one of the first songs of hers I ever heard， way back when she opened for Katy Perry）， it fits the book so well and is the perfect title for this。 I won’t lie; the cover is what first drew me in and I’m so glad this one caught This was a fun read。 Wasn’t sure if I was feeling all the hashtags throughout the book when they weren’t directed in posts， but the plot and the writing made this a nice and fast read for me。 It took me a while to realize the title is from a Kasey Mushraves song （probably one of the first songs of hers I ever heard， way back when she opened for Katy Perry）， it fits the book so well and is the perfect title for this。 I won’t lie; the cover is what first drew me in and I’m so glad this one caught my eye。 。。。more

CeCe Ross is a social media influencer， one half of the popular couple #Cevie。 However， when Silvie breaks up with her， CeCe must face not only the pain of her first break up， but also the fear of losing followers。 Josh is an aspiring musician who has no interest for social media。 When both worlds collide， CeCe hides the fact that she's internet famous， but secrets eventually catch up with her。I started this book with caution， because I am not a big fan of influencers， but I ended up enjoying it CeCe Ross is a social media influencer， one half of the popular couple #Cevie。 However， when Silvie breaks up with her， CeCe must face not only the pain of her first break up， but also the fear of losing followers。 Josh is an aspiring musician who has no interest for social media。 When both worlds collide， CeCe hides the fact that she's internet famous， but secrets eventually catch up with her。I started this book with caution， because I am not a big fan of influencers， but I ended up enjoying it a lot。 I admit the commentary on bisexuality， on biphobia to be more specific， is what swayed me in the end。 As many bisexuals， CeCe struggles with being part of the LGBT community and dating a boy。 That's the old "not gay enough， not straight enough"。 But the issue was very well handled and that last speech was powerful。The commentary on social media was also interesting。 CeCe starts hiding parts of herself from her followers to be more likeable and， in the end， she realises which are her priorities。 There are other topics such as the break up and the start of a new relationship that were good too。 Both were slowly developed and it made them feel more realistic。 The characters were good。 There was a varied cast， some diversity and realistic parents。 Josh was a likeable love interest， although a bit。。。 carboard-ish。 Some more depth would have been nice for some of the characters， him included， and there were a few lose ends that I would have liked to see closed， so not all was positive。 Still， it was an interesting read， emotional at times， very cute and with a powerful message。 。。。more

This was overall a pretty fun and breezy read！ I think a lot of teen readers， like myself， will enjoy the look at the life of an Instagram （the book just calls it "the app"） Influencer and the pressures and perks it contains。 I think the way CeCe struggles to express herself and her activist values is relatable， and I also think it's great to showcase the backlash a bi teen girl might face from some members of the queer community when she ends up dating a boy， as well as to show her （view spoile This was overall a pretty fun and breezy read！ I think a lot of teen readers， like myself， will enjoy the look at the life of an Instagram （the book just calls it "the app"） Influencer and the pressures and perks it contains。 I think the way CeCe struggles to express herself and her activist values is relatable， and I also think it's great to showcase the backlash a bi teen girl might face from some members of the queer community when she ends up dating a boy， as well as to show her （view spoiler）[triumphantly giving a speech about being bi at a Pride festival and getting a lot of positive feedback （hide spoiler）]。 The middle phase of the book， when CeCe is mid-backlash， might be a little rough for some readers， but it's definitely a romance with a happy ending。 I also really liked that while the book is aware of the ~dark side of social media it ultimately also acknowledges the value of social media friendships and the good effects social media can have as well。 I feel like there easily could have been potential for this to be a book where it's about CeCe's new， social-media hating boyfriend convincing her to delete the app and go off the grid or whatever。 So yeah， I liked this a lot and I think it'll resonate with a lot of teens too。 。。。more

Quick and easy YA contemporary read with very solid LGBTQ+ representation！ I haven't read many YA books that address bisexuality and biphobia like this and I was happy to see it here。 4。5 stars。 Note: this book is fulllllll of pop culture and internet and social media references so if that annoys you I'd avoid！ Quick and easy YA contemporary read with very solid LGBTQ+ representation！ I haven't read many YA books that address bisexuality and biphobia like this and I was happy to see it here。 4。5 stars。 Note: this book is fulllllll of pop culture and internet and social media references so if that annoys you I'd avoid！ 。。。more

This book made me， as a bisexual woman who is married to a man， feel seen so if it can help just one bi kid feel less alone that would be great。 I literally cried reading this book。

This was one of those books that I just couldn't put down。 The book specifically deals with the issue of social media never showing a person's full story。 Also， Josh is hot。 This was one of those books that I just couldn't put down。 The book specifically deals with the issue of social media never showing a person's full story。 Also， Josh is hot。 。。。more

Oh I loved this one！ This was a powerful lgbtq story about a girl named Cece who is an internet influencer。 She learns a couple lessons in this story about who she is， how she presents herself online and how the attention from social media can change you。 My only complaint is that the app they use is never referred to by name and that took some getting used to。 I binge read over half of this book today。

One thing I hate most about reading is when you have high hopes for a book and then it doesn't live up to them。 But that means there's also an opposite to that: when you pick up a book that interests you but that you don't have high expectations for， and it ends up being really good。That was my experience with this book， and I loved it so much。 It has so many amazing conversations， about being bi and biphobia， about social media and dealing with it in a healthy way， and so on。One criticism is th One thing I hate most about reading is when you have high hopes for a book and then it doesn't live up to them。 But that means there's also an opposite to that: when you pick up a book that interests you but that you don't have high expectations for， and it ends up being really good。That was my experience with this book， and I loved it so much。 It has so many amazing conversations， about being bi and biphobia， about social media and dealing with it in a healthy way， and so on。One criticism is that while this book talked quite a lot about politics， it didn't really address CeCe's privilege as a white， cis， abled person。 While she has good reasons to want to keep politics out of her social media initially， it's still a privilege to be able to do so， and I would have liked to see that addressed。I did however really like CeCe， and I think she went through a lot of character development。 Plus， I really loved the love interest in this book。CW: biphobia 。。。more
