Synopsis from Goodreads:

The Queen of blogging is a fast paced, entertaining story about making ends meet when you have toddlers, a husband that works too much and showing off your life on a blog for the outside world to see.

Kajsa runs Sweden’s largest Health and Fitness blog. There’s only one small problem; it’s all a big lie. Between her blog entries on healthy nutritious porridge and flashy running shoes, she lies on the sofa watching TV and eating sweets. Her only exercise is using the remote control.

Her life seems perfect: A beautiful house in an attractive suburb of Stockholm, three children, a loving husband and loads of money.

However, things start to crumble when she accidentally writes on her blog that she is best friends with a famous Hollywood personal trainer. The problem is he’s never met, let alone heard of her.

An ambitious journalist, who doesn’t believe Kajsa has been honest about her blog or her friendship with the personal trainer, sets out to destroy her.

Besides having to handle the annoying journalist, she must also deal with Peter, “the blog following hunk”, and a bizarre and outrageous priest who keeps spreading Kajsa’s secrets all over town!

Bestselling Swedish author Therese Loreskar writes with a never-ending sense of humour and energy.

My Review

This is a fast-paced comedy following the life of Kajsa, a major star in the blog world.  What the blog world doesn’t know is that it’s all a lie.  Kajsa’s real life is the total opposite of the one portrayed in her health and fitness blog.  

To the outside world, Kajsa’s life is successful and perfect.  Besides being a blog star, she has a loving husband with three beautiful children.  Kajsa isn’t as happy as everyone thinks.  She ends up in some whacky situations.

This story is filled with laughter and some interesting characters.  As I started reading, I became addicted and didn’t want to stop.  It’s written in a journal type of format by day and hour.  My one complaint is that it left us with a cliffhanger and there doesn’t seem to be a second book published in English yet.  Hopefully there will be another book soon.
