onceuponanisabel 's review for:
Girl Gone Viral
by Alisha Rai
The Right Swipe was, for me, kind of just okay. I liked the characters, I think Rai did a good job with it, it just didn't really stick with me or do anything particularly different. It didn't utilize my favorite tropes...it was just kind of a textbook 3 star read.
Girl Gone Viral, on the other hand, I enjoyed significantly more. My anxiety is nowhere near as bad as Katrina's, but it's always really nice to read books with characters I can relate to on that level. It had a really good "cabin in the rain" trope (I mean...in this one it was farmhouse during an internet scandal, but still the same trope). Jas and Katrina were both nice to the point of ridiculousness which is honestly so so much better than romances about jerks. The side characters continue to be amazing (even though most of them were the same side characters from The Right Swipe).
Honestly, I don't have too too much to say. This may not be one of my favorite books of the year, but it made me smile and giggle and have a good time. And in the end, what are books if not entertainment?
