This book relates to the younger set ... mainly teenagers or those in High School. However, I did enjoy this well written book.It's truly a lesson for those who spend their lives on-line, believing everything they read. Actually, it's all about gossip.
From the summary on NetGalley, this sounded like it was going to be an awesome read, and that's exactly what it was! When I requested the book for review, I wasn't aware that this is the second book in the Rumor Central series, but after finishing it, I can safely say it can be read as a stand-alone AND this author clearly knows her fabulous! Though references were often made to events in the first book, it didn't make me feel as though I was missing out on any crucial details I should know about the characters, but it did make me curious enough to want to read the first book.From the synopsis I got the impression that Maya is an all-out diva and I was going to roll my eyes often at her attitude. Maybe in her head Maya thinks she's a diva, but I actually liked her so much more than I thought I would. I didn't always agree with what she did or how she handled certain situations and people, but the way she responded to it is exactly the way a teen would do, and thus I felt her character to be adequately developed for teen readers to be able to identify with her in many ways. I even liked Maya's diva friends and I often smiled at their antics.What I liked most about the story though is that there is a lesson in there for anyone who regularly uses the internet and access their emails; one that centres around cyber stalking and protecting your identity while online. It's written in an informative way and through Maya's experiences with super-fan, Jayla, the importance of being vigilant about passwords while online, and how easily it is for hackers to steal your identity, is brought to the front in such a way it makes you want to change all your passwords as soon as you've finished the final chapter of this book.This is my first experience with Billingsley's writing and I'm super impressed. I definitely want to read the first book in this series, and all the books that follow, as well as any of her other books. You Don't Know Me Like That is a clean read void of profanity and adult content, and as such I highly recommend it for readers aged twelve and up. After the last chapter, there's also a list of questions about the story suitable for book clubs. The dialogue is witty and though Maya's in a class of her own, she's a character with values and morals, but in no way is this written in a preachy manner. It's also a light and quick read, and the reader walks away from it with lots to think about. I'm happy I gave this book a go, and...oh, yes...I think Maya should definitely give Alvin a chance!

Maya is known in Miami for her gossip and celebrity news. She's getting all the dirt on celebs AND hanging out with them. Still, homework and teen problems were part of life. Maya has the world on a string and she's enjoying life. When a new assistant and a new social media person join her staff, she figures it will just make things easier. Maya has no idea the problems she's gonna have now. Fast paced, current and interesting, this book will be one the teen in your life will enjoy. I found the plot amazing. Never did I dream what the outcome would be. Ms Billingsley is a talented author and I feel completely at ease suggesting you get any one of her books. I'm a fan! I didn't find any issues. I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because I felt like I was part of the IN crowd reading this. ~Copy of book provided by author in exchange for a fair review~
