Descripción editorial
From the bestselling author of The Kissing Booth comes a romantic comedy about a girl who joins a book fantasy fandom to win over her crush, only to discover that love is just as complicated online.
When Cerys’ secret crush Jake moves to a new college, she realizes she’s running out of time to take their relationship from platonic to romantic. She’ll do anything to get out of Jake’s friend zone, even if that means finally diving into the huge fantasy fandom he loves so much. Though she absolutely can’t see the appeal in Of Wrath and Rune, if Jake loves it, then Cerys will too.
When Jake introduces Cerys to his shiny new friend Max, who goes to all the fandom conventions—in cosplay (cringe)—Cerys realizes she’ll need to do a lot more to grab Jake’s attention than just read a few fanfics. But Max, with his dimples and dry humor, always seems to be hanging around, getting in the way.
Cerys is determined to become the ultimate fangirl to finally get on Jake’s radar. What she doesn’t expect is that she might actually like Of Wrath and Rune . . . and might like DMing with a suspiciously familiar guy in the fandom even more.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A lovesick teen will stop at nothing to win over her crush in this frothy meta rom-com by Reekles (Love & Lattes). Everything feels like it's changing for 16-year-old Cerys: her father moves out following her parents' separation, and she's now attending a new school without her best friend and crush, Jake, who recently moved away. Worse, Jake seems fine without her and has even made a new BFF named Max, a fellow superfan of Jake's favorite fantasy book series and TV show, Of Wrath and Ruin. Determined to cement her place as Jake's most important bestie—and maybe-girlfriend—Cerys plots to woo him by diving headfirst into the world of fandom, cosplay, conventions, and Wednesday-night OWaR watch parties at Jake's. The only problem is that Max is always around. As Cerys delves deeper into the OWaR fan sphere, though, she's surprised to find herself becoming a real supporter of the show, which provides a much-needed distraction from her insecurity about studying art, her father's sudden reappearance, and Jake's flaky behavior. Cerys's exuberant first-person narration keeps the pages turning, while a deliciously tropey romance keeps the tension high in this lighthearted novel about being oneself, pursuing one's passions, and reveling in life's many surprises. Main characters cue as white. Ages 14–up.
