I feel the same way now reading books about teens who inadvertently go viral! As someone who went to high school before anyone had cell phones that connected to the internet, the idea of living your normal life one day and having something you do go viral the next day feels like the same kind of fantasy and escapism that Meg Cabot’s book did for me (gulp) 15 years ago. So I’m highlighting five YA books about teens going viral—and how they deal with it! What are some of your favorite teens going viral stories? Share them with us on our YA Instagram page, @BookRiotYA! There are moments where this book feels just a bit dated—mentions of MySpace pages for bands, and the lack of social media platforms we all take for granted. But if you can get past that, this is a really great book about unexpected fame and learning to navigate new and old relationships!
