Stars—they're just like us! Except much, much worse.

Rose Aslani is mid-bikini wax when her phone lights up with a notification: Famed scam artist Poppy Hastings will be released from prison today.

It's been two years since Rose—a first-generation Middle Eastern American, functional trainwreck, and reporter for online journal The Shred—wrote the investigative article that exposed Poppy as a socialite grifter. Normally, one of her articles going viral would be cause for celebration, but the highly publicized trial that followed turned Poppy into the internet's favorite celebrity. And Rose has been reeling from the aftermath ever since. Although Poppy served her time for defrauding some of the richest, most powerful men in the world, Rose knows this is only the tip of the iceberg for Poppy's crimes. She just can't prove it yet... At least not without the help of a devilishly handsome FBI agent gone rogue.

As Poppy's star rises as an influencer and pop-culture icon, Rose quickly descends into a downward spiral of guilt and obsession. Her article created Poppy's fame, so Rose needs to right her wrong by exposing Poppy for the monster that she is. But it's not going to be easy taking down the most famous girl in the world.

Campy, satirical, and utterly hilarious, The Most Famous Girl in the World is both a scathing indictment of modern celebrity and a thrilling rollercoaster ride of unhinged hijinks that will keep you gasping at every turn of the page.

      Two years ago, journalist Rose Aslani wrote the expos� that catapulted high-society scammer Poppy Hastings to fame. Now, two years after a highly publicized trial, Poppy has been released from jail, flaunting her seemingly fabulous life everywhere on social media and quickly becoming even more of an icon than before. However, Rose is convinced that Poppy is guilty of more than just being a fraud--she thinks she is a murderer. As popular opinion of Poppy grows, Rose spirals into an obsessive quest to prove the truth. This propulsive satire will be catnip for fans of true-crime scammer stories (especially 2019's My Friend Anna, by Rachel DeLoache Williams) but also provides a cutting commentary on society's fascination with fame and social media. Offering surprising twists, a flawed protagonist, sharp humor, a steamy romance, and a shocking ending that begs to be reread, Hariri-Kia's latest (after A Hundred Other Girls, 2022) is a thoroughly gripping and of-the-moment story.
