Anon Pls.: A Novel

Product Information

I think because often, in those books the heroine was just as focused on her career as her relationships (maybe because of Sex and the City?

You don't even know what Cricket looks like, you don't even know what they have in common and or her personality in general through this whole thing that would make him fall in love with her. I will stand by the fact that a good plot line is a thousand times more satisfying than a badly written sex scene until I DIE.

What a fun deep dive into celebrity culture, the cutthroat world of fashion and the digital landscape. The real DeuxMoi operators are anonymous but in this book, the site is managed by an abused fashion intern named Cricket. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I went into reading this book not knowing anything about Deuxmoi - apparently one of the hottest celebrity gossip pages on Instagram. The part with the bad boss, totally sympathize with and understand Crickets actions 🎬 , feeling like she can't leave and hoping for better days. While we still don't know who the mysterious person behind it the iconic DexuMoi account is, we still can't help but get excited for this wild tale. While Goodman did much of the writing, she regularly collaborated with DeuxMoi to confirm various details about the celebrity world and to include references to real-world events. DeuxMoi came up with the initial concept and was connected to Jessica Goodman through their respective literary agents.

Plus, there’s a steamy new love interest who she meets through her online persona—except she has no idea if she can truly trust his motives. But when the account grows overnight and, even wilder, when she starts getting gossip from fans and insiders — juicy gossip—she has to face facts: her Instagram is now famous. The writing and plot were very weak in my opinion, and I just didn't care for or about any of the characters, who, to a person, seemed remarkably shallow and underdeveloped. It's just a way to blow off steam after a terrible, terrible day at work where her nightmarish boss screams at her and blames her for some 18-year-old influencer's screw-up.Having to read about a fictionalized Deuxmoi (but still Deuxmoi) having poorly written and cringe-worthy phone sex with this man and masturbating a couple of times was actually horrible.

I thought it was a memoir of how the celebrity gossip page came about to become the super popular account that everyone across the country follows, including myself, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it's actually a fiction novel loosely based on the person secretly behind the IG account. Not to mention Cricket turned into a 13 yr old with her first crush when she and Ollie first start talking. It was aggressively fine, and for a very niche audience looking for something light and easy to read as we head into the winter months.

In the middle of it all, she’s thinking about selling deuxmoi and getting down and dirty on the phone with an editor of one of the magazines that reached out to her. But of course running a viral Instagram account is difficult while you work full time and even harder when your boss is irrational. it literally is deuxmoi, a behind the scenes running of the viral social media account that rejuvenated interest in celebrity sightings. Listen, it's important to note that I'm not a reading elitist as I enjoy the good trashy novel as much as the next person and I try not to judge other people's taste in books, but anyone who rated this book five stars needs to get their priorities straight.
