I went into this with the expectation that there would be humor. Obviously, I’m a little disappointed.
I did think that the author brought up a lot of good points about social media use. ( )

Giving Hallmark movie vibes. Very cute, clean rom-com book. We need more of these. I will be picking up more Melissa Ferguson! ( )

A fantastic book! It has a unique story line and great characters! I also LOVED the setting of Montana and have now put it on my bucket list! An honest look into the life of an influencer in today's world. A definite must read! ( )

This was a good solid read that used humor to really get it's message across in a well nuanced way about the role of social media informed world and how the place it has in our lives or how it has begun to really form our lives. I found the use of Single Point of View to refreshing and I think this really worked well to reinforce the message of the book, although it did take me a while of get used to have a more traditionally written book. As I just mentioned, I liked how well Ferguson's style of writing drew me into Cat's world and self. This where the use of Single POV really worked for me because this book felt more like it belonged in the Women's Fiction genre than a Romance for me. Yes, the romance was there, but it was more a backdrop for Cat's Journey than the focus of the book.

Overall, this was a fun refreshing read that really spoke to me as someone who uses social media for work and play. Sometimes we need to just step away from screen and be a part of our lives rather than just observing the life that is going on around us.

Thank you Net Galley, Melissa Ferguson, and Thomas Nelson Pub for this Review Copy. ( )

OPPOSITES ATTRACT!

Melissa Ferguson writes extraordinary romantic comedies! Her latest release, Famous for A Living, is proof positive that, against all odds, opposites attract. Ferguson has created the two characters of Cat Cranwell, a mega influencer, and Ziah, a Montana National Park Ranger, that are as opposite as any two people can be. She has built a spectacular plot around why Cat has relocated from the glitz and glamour world she is accustomed to and is now attempting to blend into the work of the National Park. Ferguson takes readers on a delightful journey that shows the emotional growth in Cat’s life – whether she is ready for it or not! I love Ziah! He is “a man among men” and just what Cat needs even when she does not recognize it.

Ferguson makes her point with readers and gets them thinking about the time they spend on their iPhones, computers, iPads, and social media and the effect this has on every aspect of their real lives. It made me assess my own iPhone/iPad usage and the things I neglect or only partially participate in because I'm reading on my Kindle app, watching a sporting event on the ESPN app, shopping on Amazon, or checking emails.
