Famous in a Small Town by Emma Mills
3.0
Because apparently being in quarentine means I'm going to read EVERY Emma Mills book.
Although honestly, they're all starting to blend together. I've got nothing to say about this one that i haven't said about her other books--female friendships and a cute romance and good banter and self-discovery. The one exception in this book was that the female lead is actually a very nice, kind, and unselfish person, whereas often her leads are a little self-absorbed.
Heres a new thing: The thing that I like about Emma Mills books is that in every single one of them I've had at least one moment where I strongly identify with the main character and one of the mistakes she makes. One moment where I think, "I've done that same thing, but I never realized it before. I never thought about it before," and so in virtue of that, as the MC comes to understand herself better, I come to understand myself better--especially the self that I was in highschool. And I really appreciate that, because my high school experience was a bit odd, and there are very few contemporary books about high schoolers that I identify with at all.
