The Most Famous Girl in the World

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.

Anna Delvey vibes

Iman girl you ATE!!! Ending Gagged me .

What would you do if the article you wrote exposing a socialite scammer made her into a overnight celebrity? And all of your sources are mysteriously disappearing.

This book had me at the edge of my seat, it was funny, had a cat and mouse chase between a journalist, fbi agent and scammer socialite. Great commentary on pop culture, social media and how we make the worst people famous.

Go read loved how this blended a bunch of genres together
Left me on such a high one of the best audio books I’ve listened to

Weird book for weird girls

One day, your TikTok algorithm will put a “weird books for weird girls” recommendation video on your FYP.

It’s very important that you read those books.

This is book 2 I’ve read from one of these random videos and holy shit. This is such an underrated book. I loved this so much.

Is this how the Anna Delvy reporter feels?
