Publisher's Description
▼▲From bestselling author Melissa Ferguson comes a You've Got Mail meets Confessions of a Shopaholic meets Parks and Rec rom-com where the worlds of a chronically online, out-of-touch influencer and an off-the-grid, ruggedly handsome national park ranger clash.
"Ferguson makes a convincing and heartfelt case for how opposites attract . . . For readers who like their romance on the sweet side, this will hit the spot." --Publishers Weekly
When her business partner is accused of serious financial crimes, superstar influencer Cat Cranwell--an engineered marvel of beauty, energy, and fun--falls from her penthouse perch. Desperate to get away from the online trolls and paparazzi documenting her disgrace, Cat accepts her uncle's offer to work with him in Kannery National Park, Montana. About as far as possible from life as she's known it.
Cat's world shifts from the swirling haze of likes and comments to literal blizzards of frostbite temperatures and waist-deep snow. In place of negotiating brand deals, she finds herself negotiating at the ledge of a frozen lake with her die-hard Polar Bear Plunge coworkers. Instead of padding through the marble kitchen of her Manhattan loft, she's sharing a tent-sized cabin with a roommate eager to bond like characters in sitcoms. But something curious is also happening in this overwhelming breath of fresh air as she reacquaints with the most honest parts of herself and begins to ask the hard questions. Can Cat love herself with, and without, the world watching?
Then there's that other tiny problem--she's falling for Zaiah, the ruggedly handsome park ranger--and he hates anything remotely connected to social media, quite possibly her included.
Famous for a Living features a delightful, wholesome romance filled with plenty of swoon worthy tension but none of the spice. Discussion questions are included for book clubs to gush over the ruggedly beautiful national park setting or the quirky, relatable characters.
Tropes:
- Grumpy/sunshine
- Slow burn
- Opposites attract
- City girl/country guy

Editorial Reviews
▼▲'FAMOUS FOR A LIVING is a heartwarming and funny read with quirky characters and the occasional moose. It takes the reader on a virtual escape to the mountains and hot springs of Montana and the lofts and busy streets of New York City. Melissa Ferguson has given us a sparkling, sweet rom-com with a lot of heart.' -- Suzanne Allain, author of MR. MALCOLM'S LIST
Ferguson (Meet Me in the Margins) illuminates the value of true friends and true love in this wholesome rom-com . . . Ferguson makes a convincing and heartfelt case for how opposites attract, and a host of endearing supporting characters--especially Cat's uncle Terry, her bestie Serena, and her quirky roommate, Mina--add charm. For readers who like their romance on the sweet side, this will hit the spot. -- Publishers Weekly
This small-town opposites-attract romantic comedy features likable, relatable protagonists and a plethora of delightful secondary characters. Cat and Zaiah are well drawn, with just enough backstory to show their motivations. The city-versus-country theme is well executed, and the storyline is paced well. VERDICT Ferguson's (Meet Me in the Margins) chaste, heartfelt, hilarious novel is perfect for fans of Sophie Cousens and Jen DeLuca. -- Library Journal
