“Beautiful and touching.”

“The next best thing in lad-lit.”

“Funny and heartfelt.”

“A sweet bit of lad lit that’ll fill your heart with song. Not Famous is almost as much a tribute to Nick Hornby as it is a story in the same vein as his work. There are nods to Jonathan Tropper and Matthew Norman, too.”
—The Irresponsible Reader

“Matthew Hanover delivers a pitch-perfect story in his debut novel. It’s a funny and touching story about learning to love and trust again. Not Famous is a story that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading it. I’m holding up my lighter because I want an encore.”
—Ian Shane, author of Postgraduate

“A love story between the two main characters and the Boston music scene. Just awesome!”
—Lauren H. Mae
