About this title

Synopsis

She’s BookTok famous.
She’s never read a single book in her life.
And the internet is about to find out.

Luna is BookTok royalty: a viral literary influencer with thousands of devoted followers hanging on her every dramatic hot take. There’s just one tiny problem: she’s been faking it all along.

When an unfiltered, insecurity-fueled rant about Ulysses accidentally rockets her into algorithmic superstardom, Luna does what any sensible internet celebrity would do: she commits to the bit. Bigger opinions. Louder chaos. Relentless engagement. As long as the likes keep rolling in, no one has to know she’s never actually read the books she’s famous for.
Until an anonymous comment threatens to expose everything.

Panicking, Luna does the unthinkable: she smashes her phone and deactivates her account.

Slowly, she discovers that offline is where real life begins. There’s a sunlit local library. A stubborn stray cat. And a neighbor who actually reads: grounded, attentive, and unexpectedly magnetic. He brings Luna to the library, introduces her to the neighborhood, and shows her the quiet rhythms of ordinary life and a world that exists beyond the screen. Starting with The Little Prince, Luna begins reading for the first time, and slowly discovers that stories aren’t about performance, but connection.

But the internet never forgets. When Luna’s online life resurfaces, she must confront the lies behind her success and decide what matters more: the persona that made her famous, or the person she’s finally becoming.

Queen of the Algorithm is a witty, uplifting novel about impostor syndrome, internet fame, and the courage it takes to be real in a world that rewards pretending—blending sharp satire with heartfelt self-discovery and a touch of romantic tension.
