Girl Gone Viral by Alisha Rai: In Alisha Rai’s second novel in her Modern Love series, a live-tweet event goes viral for a camera-shy ex-model, shoving her into the spotlight—and into the arms of the bodyguard she’d been pining for.
"Rai handles her characters’ mental health issues with incredible care while not shying away from depicting the effects such issues would have on a relationship. Katrina and Jas’s loving, mutual support of one another is truly touching. This sensitive and sexy contemporary is sure to be a hit."
—Publishers Weekly review
"Rai's lovely, slow-building romance between the very appealing Katrina and Jasvinder will delight readers."
—Booklist

The story of the tweet, and its ensuing popularity, was quickly picked up by national outlets, including Today, HuffPost, and Fox News. But as unexpected as the response was to this lone tweet, even more shocking was the backlash. Below, you can read Alisha's Huffpost article that reflects on the toxic online harassment that she faced as a result of the tweet. It's an eye-opening, can't-miss read that adds an extra dimension to her upcoming novel Girl Gone Viral.
