Anon Pls.: A Novel

Product Information

Though no one knows that she is behind the account, its newfound success is affecting her real life. I went into reading it with very modest expectations, hoping for a bit of entertaining fluff, which I was craving. There's something almost nostalgic about this book that made me think about the 2000s-era chick-lit I used to love.

It's a fictional tale of how the app became to be, but this fictional story is absolutely horrendous and comes off like someone's fantasy diaries fobbed off for a grade in English class. While holding A-list celebrities accountable is fulfilling, it’s a great power that comes with great responsibility.Anyway, if you want to play a drinking game with this book, go ahead and take a shot every time a brand name or an actor is named-dropped. 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. Essentially this is Crickett's journey of self-discovery and how to monetize DM, and establish it as her full-time job, and leave behind the daily torment of being an assistant to a tyrant behind. That being said, the book flows well and it’s a great book to keep you more than entertained on a flight without WiFi (If you know, you know) and capturing the urgency of not being connected 24/7.

My sister first told me about Deuxmoi fairly early on as she often had juicy celebrity tidbits or gossip that was sourced from this account. Cricket considers taking an offer from a media company that would allow her to get paid to run the account and quit her day job.This actually mirrors DeuxMoi in interviews that I've read; you'll notice that she is always evading accountability, not taking responsibility for anything harmful or damaging or inaccurate she might have posted, and afraid to be criticised. Feeling stuck, Cricket reignites an old style instagram account and turns it into a celebrity gossip page while drinking with friends. This definitely gave me Devil Wears Prada vibes, which was one of my favorites back when it came out, and I can definitely understand all the positive reviews this novel has received.
