Millie had always had her head on straight, but when her mother's clean freak boyfriend drove her to live with her dad, she made some decisions, which were sort of out of character. Her vlog began as an accident, but when resident queen bee and mean girl, Erin, took endless digs at her, Millie decided to seriously vlog. But Millie became some obsessed with the vlog, views, likes, and comments, that she neglected her off-line life.
I thought this book was really fun and cute. Millie was delightful, and seemed like an authentic 14 year old, which I really liked. Millie had a pretty quirky family. From the story of how her parents met to the ghost tours, they kept me throughly entertained. They were odd and a little out there, but they loved Millie a lot.
I especially loved her relationship with her grandfather. Grandfather was a little bit old school, but he obviously adored Millie, and she felt the same way about him. He showed his affection in his own way, and I sort of fell for the big grump.
Dave the cat was sort of a scene stealer. There were a ton of hilarious moments starring Dave, which delighted me, because you know, if there's anything I associate with my online browsing, it's cats.
I was a los a big Bradley fan. Bradley was a classmate and fellow vlogger, who Millie enlists to help her with her vlog. His love of lifts was a little strange, but Bradley was terribly sweet, and I sort of loved him.
Lots of fun, lots of follies, lots of ideas about not abandoning your real life for a life online and about being real. These were all great. I was little disappointed in the ending. It felt a little rushed, and Millie made some choices I found not happy about, but since I see there is a sequel in the works, I can hope that these things are not permanent.
