I'm looking for a book about fame and all the detriments to it. But my issue is that often when I see books about fame, they're more romance-y booktok books, which is fine, just not my vibe. I was hoping to find a book that's a bit more literary and serious. I'm currently reading "Die, My Love" by Ariana Harwicz, if that helps at all.

Valley of the Dolls – Jacqueline Susan
You Can’t Go Home Again by Thomas Wolfe
It’s a sci fi but A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor and its sequel An Absolutely Remarkable Thing are novels where “being internet famous really sucks” is a main theme. It’s by internet famous guy Hank Green.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
The One and Only Vivian Stone by Melissa O’Connor
Daisy Jones and the Six
Glamorama by Brett Easton Ellis
*Y/N* by Esther Yi is about a woman becoming kind of obsessed with a BTS style group. It’s not a romance though and goes in some unexpected directions.
COLORS INSULTING TO NATURE by Cintra Wilson is a pitch-black comedy about a girl who burns to be famous, and the destruction that brings to herself and those around her. It’s hysterical, and, frankly, overlooked.
