Description
After a shout-out from one of the internet's superstar vloggers, Natasha "Tash" Zelenka suddenly finds herself and her obscure, amateur web series, Unhappy Families, thrust in the limelight: She's gone viral.
Her show is a modern adaptation of Anna Karenina—written by Tash's literary love Count Lev Nikolayevich "Leo" Tolstoy. Tash is a fan of the 40,000 new subscribers, their gushing tweets, and flashy Tumblr gifs. Not so much the pressure to deliver the best web series ever.
And when Unhappy Families is nominated for a Golden Tuba award, Tash's cyber-flirtation with a fellow award nominee suddenly has the potential to become something IRL—if she can figure out how to tell said crush that she's romantic asexual.
Tash wants to enjoy her newfound fame, but will she lose her friends in her rise to the top? What would Tolstoy do?

What an absolutely amazing friendship group!!! I love all of them and damn are their relationships messy and complicated. The ace rep was also 10/10 cries, thank you very much. Especially with how her closests friends reacted to it. Additionally Tash was a really funny narrator and I loved her comments about some things. One critique I do have is that I think one characters behavior was really inconsistent when they were suddenly terrible to Tash.
If you want a chance at being happy, exist. Because yes, life can suck, but as long as you‘re alive, there‘s a chance you can be happy. I’m not sure if I liked this book. It had great representation (a Czech family, an asexual MC who’s a Buddhist) but the story line was boring and slow. Their web series is nominated for an award and she’s travelling to an award show. This aspect was the only point of the book I was looking forward to. Since the plot isn’t too interesting, I didn’t care about the characters either. It was an easy read, but nothing I’d re-read.
