Rose is a journalist who is obsessed with the con woman of the rich, Poppy Hastings, whose character is reminiscent of Anna Delvey. Rose believes that Poppy Hastings is guilty of much more than just fraud, but also murder. Reluctantly, Rose teams up with FBI agent, Simon, to bring down Poppy for good. Together, they find themselves going down the rabbit hole of conspiracies and secret societies.

This genre was definitely new for me, but I loved it. This book read like it was on Adderall (like how Rose was for a lot of the book lol). It was so funny, yet dark and mysterious with a twist I didn't see coming in the end. The writing was phenomenal and vibrant. It really portrayed Rose's voice so well. Speaking of, Rose is absolutely bonkers and I love her and her friends. They are truly a girl group with unconditional love for each other. Rose and Simon had so much tension and I really liked their "love-hate" relationship. AND THAT ENDING - I can't get over it, and I'm going to have to scour the Reddit threads once this book gets published because I was SHOCKED. I want a sequel!

This was a great commentary on today's society and the power of social media on our day to day lives. This was my first book of Iman Hariri-Kia's, but definitely not the last! I'm officially a fan.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for the ARC.

This was a fun book to read. I liked both Rose and Poppy. This book reminded me of Anne Delvey and the Inventing Anna movie but I still enjoyed all the craziness of it. There is a lot of drama and some twists that I did not see coming. I recommend for sure!

Iman Hariri-Kia continues to deliver quirky, campy, and clever storytelling in "The Most Famous Girl in the World." This was reminiscent of the Anna Delver case (did you watch that show on Netflix? The hotel scene is forever seared in my mind unfortunately) and I was stressed and shook at some of the twists and turns. I had a great time though and think folks will eat this up on September 17.
