Famous for a Living

You've Got Mail meets Confessions of a Shopaholic meets Parks and Rec--this romance might have to move mountains.

When her business partner is accused of serious financial crimes, superstar influencer Cat Cranwell--an engineered marvel of beauty, energy, and fun--falls from her penthouse perch. Des­perate to get away from the online trolls and paparazzi docu­menting her disgrace, Cat accepts her uncle's offer to work with him in Kannery National Park, Montana. About as far as possible from life as she's known it.

Cat's world shifts from the swirling haze of likes and comments to lit­eral blizzards of frostbite temperatures and waist-deep snow. In place of negotiating brand deals, she finds herself negotiating at the ledge of a frozen lake with her die-hard Polar Bear Plunge coworkers. Instead of padding through the marble kitchen of her Manhattan loft, she's sharing a tent-sized cabin with a roommate eager to bond like characters in sitcoms. But something curious is also happening in this overwhelming breath of fresh air as she reacquaints with the most honest parts of her­self and begins to ask the hard questions. Can Cat love herself with, and without, the world watching?

Then there's that other tiny problem--she's falling for Zaiah, the ruggedly handsome park ranger--and he hates anything remotely connected to social media, quite possibly her included.

Written with bestselling author Melissa Ferguson's signature wit and charm, this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy of opposites attract is full of hilarious romp and a romance that will melt readers' hearts.

A story about a woman in her 30's whose Instagram influencer status has always been her bread and butter. Until one day, an app deal goes horribly wrong and she's accused of colluding to sell the public's private information.

To get her mind off of it, her best friend sends her off to her national park ranger uncle who's always had an open position for her Montana. There's lots of adjustment, but also room for lots of change.

I'm such a sucker for these modern fun and fluffy romance books. And although this one had lots of parallels to It Happened One Summer, I really appreciated the author's stance on the seriousness that the overconsumption of social media can have on lives. There's even a questionnaire at the end to help you recognize if you have a problem.
