What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Cleverly humorous and extremely timely reading for those who seek renown.”– Kirkus
“Fame is changing. Because of the revolutions of social media, fame isn’t just for famous people anymore.We need to be having intelligent, thoughtful, deep discussions about it, and Semi-Famous is exactly that. Except, also it is fun and irreverent and laugh-out-loud funny. This is the class on fame that everyone should be taking in our bizarre new world.”
–Hank Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author and internet video person“I don’t know how I can warn anyone about the spotlight when I’m so busy chasing it–but Josh Sundquist does it perfectly.”
–Steve-O“A cleverly funny memoir-slash-exposé….this is a fun and thoughtful work suitable for every young person living in our tech-driven world.”–SLJ* “Insightful and humorous… Sundquist’s own awkward pursuit of fame is sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and he offers wise and down-to-earth advice for those who come in already convinced that fame alone is a worthy goal. Highly recommended.”–Booklist, starred review“Cleverly humorous and extremely timely reading for those who seek renown.”–KirkusAbout The Author
