Book Boyfriend

Devoted fangirl meets hesitant fanboy in this swoony contemporary love letter to readers who adore fantasy worlds, from the beloved authors of The Breakup Tour.

Jennifer Worth lives to escape into the world of her favorite romantasy series Elytheum Courts, where the romance is sweeping and the men are brave, chivalrous . . . and winged. Newly single and craving connection, she travels to an immersive fan experience celebrating all things Elytheum, only to see the last face she expected—Scott Daniels, her work nemesis, whose disinterest in Jennifer’s favorite series and standoffishness have made their publishing jobs feel like a feuding fae court.

Except the Scott she encounters at the Elytheum Experience, in his secondhand cosplay outfit, is . . . different. Swaggering, flirtatious, confident. Unlucky in romance himself and inspired by Jennifer’s love for the swoonworthy men of Elytheum, Scott is determined to remake himself into the perfect book boyfriend.

Jennifer has no interest in helping the man who vexes her every workday and dismisses her fictional fantasies, but as the immersive convention activities force them together, they’re surprised to discover magic like none Jennifer has ever read about. But is enemies-to-lovers romance only for books, or can Jennifer and Scott bring the trope to life?

"This book is for those who’ve dreamed about dating a man with wings or squealed silently when a fae warrior removed his bracers to reveal his forearms — yes, I’m talking about you — the fangirls and fanguys who know that fantasy isn’t just an escape, but a reminder that we can be the main characters in our real lives, too.

Enjoyable

Fun story for readers of rom-coms and romantasy—like the movie Austenland but with Rhysand instead of Darcy. The third act fear-driven breakup and instant reconciliation felt forced, but I enjoyed it overall. The narrator was good but annoyingly pronounced what I assume to be the name Catherine as “Keth-er-in.”
