Summary
He didn't "meme" to do it ...
Tenth grader Tommy Baher has always lived in the shadow of his older brother Johnathan, and he has always hated it. Determined to set himself apart from his brother, Tommy puts all his efforts into securing the highest grades in his class. There's just one problem standing in his way: Kara Metaxas, his longtime academic rival, who has always made his life at school difficult.
When Tommy and Kara are invited to participate in the Junior Science and Technology Symposium, an academic competition hosted by a prestigious college, Tommy sees it as a chance to prove himself to his parents and his peers. Tommy feels even more sure of himself as he begins to make funny memes using a picture of Kara. Everything is coming together for him.
But when Tommy starts to change his mind about Kara - and subsequently, nearly everything else about his life - his memes go viral, and threatens to destroy everything Tommy has worked for.
Can he find a way to make things right with Kara before he loses everything?
FROM THE AUTHOR:
With themes of cyberbullying, teen romance, sibling rivalries, and the importance of family, The Girl of All My Memes is a light-hearted read that packs a subtle punch.
My Thoughts
This was definitely a great read. A bit unexpected, if I'm being honest. I thought it was going to be a lot less deep and a bit more "young" than it turned out to be.
The Girls of All My Memes is told from Tommy's perspective. He's very smart and a bit of an overachiever. I usually enjoy reading from a female perspective but I did enjoy reading from Tommy's perspective.
This book turned out to be a light, fun read while sending a really good message. A big thanks to the author for sending it to me.
*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
