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 β€œreal life” for yearsβ€”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?

I was in the mood for a lighter book for a change of pace from my recent reads, and saw this audiobook on Scribd. I was intrigued by the fandom aspect and decided to check it out!

I really liked this at first, but as it went on I began to lose interest, and it was a bit of a struggle for me to finish. I think it was fine overall and I liked it, generally, but while the fandom aspect was so interesting to me, I didn’t care for the fanfic excerpts and found them distracting and confusing.

The romance was cute and I liked the chemistry between Marcus and April, but I guess I just wasn’t feeling all that invested in this one by the end.
