My Rating: 5/5 stars!!
Alisha Rai’s Girl Gone Viral is utterly fantastic and a joy to read. The book follow Katrina, a former model who is now plagued by anxiety and so tries to be as anonymous as possible. When a photo of her in a coffee shop goes viral, she fears that the life she’s carefully built for herself will be ruined. Jas, her trusty (and hunky) bodyguard steps in to help her out.
The character building in this novel is top-notch. Both Katrina and Jas are such believable, likable characters. They both have their own problems they are dealing with, but watching them come together to overcome them is just great. I loved reading the back-and-forth from both points of view, which were full of with and vulnerability.
The way that Rai tackles such timely and poignant issues in this book is impressive. Characters deal with anxiety, PTSD, family issues and the lack of privacy inherent in an increasingly online world. She raises some really interesting questions that keep you thinking after you've finished the book.
I can’t wait to read more by Alisha Rai.
