Katie Cox Goes Viral by Marianne Levy

This is a great young adult novel. Katie Cox feels that her life is changing - her parents got divorced, her dad moved to America, her mom has started dating someone new and now they all live together, along with her sister.

In this day and age, where the weirdest things can become viral hits one day and misses the next (remember that Friday song?!) this is a story that not only shows how one family can be affected by viral superstardom, but also how those around Katie react as well. This is one I can recommend to all young adult fans! I received this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

On the interview she seemed really distracted and hostile. She gave me time to ask questions, which I did, and she seemed irritated. She then asked me 3 questions THAT SHE HAD ASKED DURING THE SECOND INTERVIEW. I answered them all again as though they were the first time I had he
