(Seriously, I’ve invented an entire fantasy series for this book, so my main character can write fanfic about it to process her feelings. I’ve made a ‘no beta we die like men’ reference. Plus, it’s set in South Wales. There’s cosplay with elf ears! Fanart! I didn’t spend all that time on tumblr during the superwholock era for nothing.)
<Shipping: the desire by followers of a fandom for two people (either in real-life or fiction) to be in a romantic relationship>
When Cerys’ best friend and secret crush Jake moves to a new college, she realises she’s running out of time to take their relationship from platonic to romantic. She’ll do anything to get out of Jake’s friendzone, even if that means diving into the huge fantasy fandom he loves so much.
But when Jake introduces Cerys to his shiny new friend Max, who goes to all the conventions and loves a costume, she realises she’ll need to do a lot more to grab Jake’s attention than just read a few fanfics.
Can Cerys convince Jake they should become the new couple to ship? Or will he see straight through her cosplay?
A fandom-centric romcom about self-confidence and the power of finding the people who just get you, DO YOU SHIP IT is a beautifully lighthearted YA from bestselling author Beth Reekles, perfect for fans of Holly Bourne, Jenny Han, and Lynn Painter.
