This book is witty! 

I really enjoyed Emmy Ellison’s character. She is passionate about her work and her family, and it shows. She is high-energy but not overbearing. I wanted to be her friend. 

What would you do if you wrote a book about your celebrity crush and then you got to meet him?  I think she held herself very well and let’s not mention it happens on TV! 

Jason is struggling with social media only seeing the dark sides or seeing things skewed and running with the wrong story.  It’s affecting his work and jeopardizing his employment, so he needs to turn it around ASAP. 

When Jason meets Emmy something about her, he is just drawn to. Just as she is to him. 

The podcasters in this book were funny and harsh, but I get it they needed to see all sides or just pick a side and root for that person. 

Their story was fun and if I am honest a page-turner for me. I didn’t want to press stop. 

The narrators Stephanie Willing and Andrew Eiden bring us all the charm and nuance giving these characters just the right voices.
