A review by ninaprime
Famous in a Small Town by Emma Mills

lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This is my second book by Mills. While she excels at writing cute banter and heartwarming friendships, I thought the characters were rather one-dimensional - sweet bubbly Flora, serious Dash, prone to outbursts Brit. Also, I wasn't as compelled by the romance between Sophie and August as I was by the one in 'Foolish Hearts'. She does include serious topics

like parental incarceration and sibling injury/death

but overall the story is a sweet, light read that makes me nostalgic for teenage summers full of possibility.
