Editoral Review
Cambria Hebert’s #Poser is a captivating novel that takes readers on an intriguing journey of self-discovery and teenage angst. Hebert is a well-known author in the young adult genre, and #Poser is one of her most popular works.
The novel dives into the world of social media and the impact it has on young people’s daily lives. Published on August 8, 2015, #Poser is still relevant and holds significant cultural significance in today’s digital age.
The novel depicts the story of a high school student named Madison Myong, who is struggling to fit in with the popular kids at her school. She is tired of being the outcast and decides to reinvent herself on social media.
Madison changes her appearance, personality, and style to align herself with the popular crowd, but the more she tries to fit in, the more she loses touch with who she really is. Hebert’s writing style is honest and raw, exposing the struggles that young people face in today’s world.
Her writing is easy to read, making the book a page-turner for anyone who picks it up. The author created relatable characters that are going through what most teenagers go through while growing up.
Through the story, readers can identify with Madison’s experiences and her search for acceptance. The novel’s main strength is its portrayal of the damaging effects of social media on young people.
#Poser is a cautionary tale that highlights the importance of being true to oneself and the dangers of conforming to society’s standards. The book’s message is powerful and relevant, reflecting the impact social media has on our lives today.
However, a weakness of the novel is its predictable plot. The story follows a typical high school setting and fails to present any significant surprises or twists that make the reader gasp.
The book’s predictable nature limits the experience and depth of its emotional impact. Overall, #Poser is a well-written novel that sheds light on the pitfalls of social media and the importance of genuine self-expression.
The author’s ability to capture the essence of a teenager’s experience is impressive. Despite its predictable plot, #Poser is an engaging read for young adult audiences who will learn valuable lessons from the story.
I highly recommend #Poser to anyone who enjoys relatable characters and a story with a message. Rating the book 3.5/5 stars.
