Olivia Dade bursts onto the scene
in this delightfully fun romantic comedy set in the world of fanfiction, in
which a devoted fan goes on an unexpected date with her celebrity crush, who’s
secretly posting fanfiction of his own.
Marcus Caster-Rupp has a secret.
While the world knows him as Aeneas, the star of the biggest show on TV, Gods
of the Gates, he's known to fanfiction readers as Book!AeneasWouldNever, an
anonymous and popular poster. Marcus is
able to get out his own frustrations with his character through his stories,
especially the ones that feature the internet’s favorite couple to ship, Aeneas
and Lavinia. But if anyone ever found out about his online persona, he’d be
fired. Immediately.
April Whittier has secrets of her
own. A hardcore Lavinia fan, she’s hidden her fanfiction and cosplay hobby from
her “real life” for years—but not anymore. When she decides to post her latest
Lavinia creation on Twitter, her photo goes viral. Trolls and supporters alike
are commenting on her plus-size take, but when Marcus, one half of her OTP,
sees her pic and asks her out on a date to spite her critics, she realizes life
is really stranger than fanfiction.
Even though their first date is a
disaster, Marcus quickly realizes that he wants much more from April than a
one-time publicity stunt. And when he discovers she’s actually Unapologetic
Lavinia Stan, his closest fandom friend, he has one more huge secret to hide
from her.
With love and Marcus’s career on
the line, can the two of them stop hiding once and for all, or will a match
made in fandom end up prematurely cancelled?
My Thoughts
I feel like this is a fanfiction story about the actors in Game
of Thrones. Obviously, the TV show the character works on won’t be GoT, but
it’s close enough to make me really curious. I do know that these “fanfiction”
type stories can sometimes go very, very bad, like that icky book written about
the misconstrued Supernatural convention years ago and the awful Destiel
ship wars that have made it hard to even enjoy the fandom anymore. But I
digress. Spoiler Alert seems cute, but I’m debating on whether or not I
should buy a physical copy of this one versus an ebook copy. I like the cover,
but I tend to not keep contemporaries unless I truly love them. I’m conflicted.
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
Cute pick! Not my kind of read but I hope you positively love it once you get to read it!
