Synopsis

Stars—they’re just like us! Except much, much worse.

Rose Aslani is mid-bikini wax when her phone lights up with a notification: Famed scam artist Poppy Hastings will be released from prison today.

It’s been two years since Rose—a first-generation Middle Eastern American, functional trainwreck, and reporter for online journal The Shred—wrote the investigative article that exposed Poppy as a socialite grifter. Normally, one of her articles going viral would be cause for celebration, but the highly publicized trial that followed turned Poppy into the internet’s favorite celebrity. And Rose has been reeling from the aftermath ever since. Although Poppy served her time for defrauding some of the richest, most powerful men in the world, Rose knows this is only the tip of the iceberg for Poppy’s crimes. She just can’t prove it yet … At least not without the help of a devilishly handsome FBI agent gone rogue.

As Poppy’s star rises as an influencer and pop-culture icon, Rose quickly descends into a downward spiral of guilt and obsession. Her article created Poppy’s fame, so Rose needs to right her wrong by exposing Poppy for the monster that she is. But it’s not going to be easy taking down the most famous girl in the world.

Campy, satirical, and utterly hilarious, The Most Famous Girl in the World is both a scathing indictment of modern celebrity and a thrilling roller-coaster ride of unhinged hijinks that will keep you gasping at every turn of the page.

“A gripping satire of our society’s obsession with fame.”—KJ Micciche, author of The Book Proposal

The humor in this book was right up my alley. I loved all the characters. The mystery was intriguing. Everything was perfect until the epilogue cliffhanger. I don’t know if a sequel is planned or if it was just supposed to be a shock ending, but it was not the vibe. This would be a five star read ha......more

Iman Hariri-Kia's sophomore fiction novel, THE MOST FAMOUS GIRL IN THE WORLD, is a ridiculously fun, wild ride! The cover immediately drew me in, but the story is over the top thrills and laughs.
