The Most Famous Girl in the World by Iman Hariri-Kia
4.5
So, The Most Famous Girl in the World definitely took me on a ride. Rose is such a good main character—she’s interesting and kind of not a good person, and completely obsessed with finding the truth. It took me a little bit to get into the book but once I did, it really pulled me in, and the way it was set up had me excited to see where it would go. Rose meeting the FBI agent and their romantic subplot seemed really well done to me, and I really liked him as a character.
The supporting characters, especially Rose’s friends Steph and Fern, were a huge plus. Steph was sweet and caring, while Fern’s sarcasm had me cracking up. They were really good friends which was surprising because Rose was really not a good friend to them.
And then there’s that ending. It was totally unexpected and did feel a bit much but I think that was the purpose. It does feel like there could be a sequel but I also think this is one of those books that's better left with the open ending.
In the end, The Most Famous Girl in the World is a fresh, engaging look at fame and para-social obsession, with some wild twists thrown in. If you’re up for a read that’s unpredictable, funny, and just a little chaotic, this one’s worth checking out. This did read similarly to Under the Influence by Noelle Crooks, in a good way! If you liked this one, I'd suggest that and vice versa.
