National Best Seller

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. The world may know him as Aeneas, star of the biggest show on television, but fanfiction readers call him something else: Book!AeneasWouldNever. Marcus gets out his frustrations with the show through anonymous stories about the internet’s favorite couple, Aeneas and Lavinia. But if anyone discovered his online persona, he’d be finished in Hollywood.

April Whittier has secrets of her own. A hardcore Lavinia fan, she’s long hidden her fanfic and cosplay hobbies from her “real life” - but not anymore. When she dares to post her latest costume creation on Twitter, her plus-size take goes viral. And when Marcus asks her out to spite her internet critics, truth officially becomes stranger than fanfiction.

On their date, Marcus quickly realizes he wants more from April than a one-time publicity stunt. But when he discovers she’s Unapologetic Lavinia Stan, his closest fandom friend, he has one more huge secret to keep from her.

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?

Meh. A Little Unrealistic.

I am a formerly fat woman. Like, life-long struggler with obesity. I am happily married and have had a fairly satisfying dating and sex life overall; however, as a fat woman, it is so far fetched to believe that not one, but TWO gorgeous actors/sex symbols are smitten by fat women. In the main storyline, Marcus is obsessed with April. And while it *could* and *does* happen, it's just not very realistic. My husband adores my body, so I'm positive there are men out there who do, but there's too much in this story that doesn't add up. Combine that with allusions to Marcus's best friend also falling for his fat assistant, Lauren, and suddenly I can't suspend reality long enough to get past it.
I did enjoy the overall plot with the fanfic and the fan-con elements. I think that was a clever way to intro these characters.
I wish I could rate this one higher bc I truly do appreciate the author writing about fat women in romance. She handles the issue with respect, which is nice. And she does celebrate the sexuality of fat women respectfully.
It just wasn't quite a hit for me.

Absolutely Stunning

I often shy away from books that have a plus size main character due to my own size. I am so glad I chose this story. April is gorgeous even when she isn’t feeling confident. Marcus is respectful despite his obvious lack of understanding of what it means to be plus sized. I felt recognized and found a lot of myself in April. Thank you!

Such a cute story!

I loved this listen. I loved it so much I'm getting the actual book too. The story is well crafted, and emotional, and the narrator is pleasant to listen to.

Body positivity FTW

This was such a fun and sweet read. I’m already looking forward to reading more books from this author!

Charming and Tender

A fresh, authentic modern romance between a fan and the star of her favorite TV series. A romance where the conflict is never false — it’s built of people, being people, vulnerable and relatable and earnest. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

LOVED the story!

I really loved the story! I cried, I laughed and just had a great time. I wished that a guy will read Marcus part, but it was good with only a woman voice

Loved It

Marcus, a famous actor, asks out April, a big girl. At every turn she doubts his motive. I liked this book. I identified with April. I like April and Marcus together. I like Olivia Dade's writing and I hope she will continue this series. I read these books out of order, I'm glad they are stand alone books. I can't wait to read the 3rd book in November.

Really enjoyed it! A beautiful combination of fun, spiciness and a beautiful message of self-acceptance.

I really enjoyed this story, my first read by the author. The narrator was great and really added to the richness of the characters. I love how she had brought the world of fanfic to life and can poke fun in the sweetest of ways. Looking forward to reading book 2 in this series to learn more about Alex and Lauren.

Cute story

I liked the story. I found the back and forth (fan fiction/ story) a bit confusing, even unnecessary.

Growth

The writing and performance were good i just had to speed it up quite a bit. however the characters had amazing growth. when the big reveal happens that ypu know is gonna happen i feel like the characters revert back in a way i didnt think really made sense. i wish the B plot was explored more instead of getting mentioned a couple of times then resolved in the epilogue.
