Anon Pls.: A Novel

Product Information

I don't regret the time that I spent with the book, but it did only take a little over an hour to read so it wasn't a massive commitment on my time. Despite not being able to get over how this book was allowed to be published while essentially copying the whole 'The Devil Wears Prada' movie plot, I was curious how an anonymous IG account became such a wild success (with 2 Million followers and counting) and the source for celebrity "news". I went into reading this book not knowing anything about Deuxmoi - apparently one of the hottest celebrity gossip pages on Instagram. When gossip is submitted to the DeuxMoi account, submitters often request anonymity by saying "anon pls" or a variation of the phrase. What a fun deep dive into celebrity culture, the cutthroat world of fashion and the digital landscape.

The book also includes a couple of sex scenes for the romance b plot that was boiling under the surface for most of the book. This book would only be entertaining for those who’ve never read a book outside of assigned readings in high school. While I would classify the book as fluff (I don't think the author would be offended, since it seems that was the intention), however, I didn't find it particularly entertaining. even Cover Story by Susan Riggetti out earlier this year from William Morrow felt like a better time spent in this similar world, but with a more compelling plot.DeuxMoi started out as an anonymous Instagram account about fashion and pop culture, but after one of its creators asked followers to share celebrity gossip with them anonymously, the account’s popularity exploded. DeuxMoi now has over two million followers on Instagram alone and regularly shares celebrity sightings and stories. In fact, it likely only was because there was no other substance to this book, and it served to add a bit of drama at the end (though only for a chapter or two) when Cricket thinks Ollie is manipulating her to try to gain control of the deuxmoi brand. To be fair I am assuming it was that Jessica Goodman and not some other Jessica Goodman that is out here writing books.

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 love the mundane celebrity sightings and the behind the scenes look at how those on high really treat those beneath them. 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.

Never gonna be a literary classic, but getting the inside view of the Deuxmoi juggernaut is a heap of fun! I am not judging this book by criteria I would use for literary fiction, but even so, it falls short. But judging on what the book actually was and what it actually achieve, this was very average and not in a way I think anyone needs to rush out to experience. 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.

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. As for the selfishness, her friends are constantly worried about being linked to their celebrity gossip blog-running friend, which admittedly, is very 1%/first world problems, but I can see why this is would important to them based on the lives they have. One night after an especially hard day at work she goes out with friends and has one too many shots of tequila and creates DeuxMoi (two me, in French), posting first-hand gossip about celebs. 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.It's light and fun, full of inside jokes and celebrity references that fans of the instagram account will get instantly, and those who aren't as familiar can still enjoy.

I found myself falling into a rabbit hole when looking up blind items, Reddit threads, news articles and interviews to devour as much as I could. She’s been an assistant for eight years despite her boss Sasha’s nasty comments (like, jaw-droppingly horrible) and her aim is to get a promotion. It catches on and fuelled by some of Cricket’s own celebrity spottings and gossip, it takes off to the point where everyone is ready to spill to deuxmoi.Not since the beginning (I'm not that cool), but around the time she had 200k followers and was starting to really blow up.
