Girl Gone Viral

Girl Gone Viral by Alisha Rai, 384 pages

Katrina King has always suffered from anxiety and panic attacks, making getting out of the house difficult (even without heaps of emotional baggage that she acquired over the years). She's slowly making progress -- visiting her therapist at a cafe, taking short day trips, etc. -- though always with her strong, serious (and seriously sexy) bodyguard, Jasminder Singh, in tow. But when an innocuous trip to the cafe turns Katrina into a mysterious Twitter hashtag, her panic attacks return in full force, making Kat and Jas flee to a seemingly safer locale: Jas' family farm in northern California.

This is a sweet romance, full of kind people in a not-so-kind world. Kat and Jas both have their issues, none of which are completely solved by the end of the book. But that's OK. It makes it a bit more realistic, and gives a story that could easily swerve into COMPLETELY unbelievable some grounding. I enjoyed this book, and gobbled it up as quickly as Kat's friends eat her fabulous cooking.
