It’s implied but it could have been delved into or even mentioned. We are given some back story but in April’s case there is very little and it is not explained how seeing her mother treated poorly by her father affected the way she saw her own body. The same goes for the parental relationships with both parents. Why was she “fat” (authors words)? Was it over eating due to depression or lack of self control or was it genetic or medically related? What was her relationship with her body like when she was younger and how did she get to where she is now? These are all questions that could have added so much more depth to the character and why she reacts as she does when her body is made the topic of discussion. Representation of all body types is much needed and appreciated but when it is one of the only plot points and it is not well explained, it gets old by the end of the book. There was some character development for Marcus but April showed no change at all. I only finished this book so that I could say with certainty that it was bad all the way through.
With love and Marcus’ 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? But when he discovers she’s Unapologetic Lavinia Stan, his closest fandom friend, he has one more huge secret to keep from her. On their date, Marcus quickly realizes he wants more from April than a one-time publicity stunt.
And when Marcus asks her out to spite her internet critics, truth officially becomes stranger than fanfiction. When she dares to post her latest costume creation on Twitter, her plus-size take goes viral. A hardcore Lavinia fan, she’s long hidden her fanfic and cosplay hobbies from her “real life” - but not anymore. But if anyone discovered his online persona, he’d be finished in Hollywood.Īpril Whittier has secrets of her own. Marcus gets out his frustrations with the show through anonymous stories about the internet’s favorite couple, Aeneas and Lavinia. The world may know him as Aeneas, star of the biggest show on television, but fanfiction readers call him something else: Book!AeneasWouldNever. 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.
