Review
Thank you to Berkley for an ARC!
First off, I LOVED Do Your Worst. This one I think is even better. It’s sweet and it’s also so funny. This book pays homage to fandom and all the “weird ones” and the “nerds” who used to be obsessed with TV shows and felt like outcasts.
Rosie Danan is amazing at crafting a story that makes you fall in love with these characters and their problems. Honestly it was a feel good story, and I really got lost in the book. You know how a book just makes you feel a certain way? But can’t explain it? Yeah, this book is it.
I got to 50% in and was giggling. Alex was such a great FMC, and Devin was a geat MMC. One reason why was they complemented each other in a way that worked. I loved the bantering that they did. I loved how they slowly began to get to know each other.
It had such vibes all the way through, especially in how it related to fandom. As someone previously part of fandoms it felt so…there and honest. I loved it. It was as if all of our “as ifs” had come to life in a book.
Funny, really! And it definitely had both Buffy and Supernatural vibes. In some ways it had a sense of nostalgia to it.
I had such a fun time reading this book, and I just couldn’t put it down. A fun romcom read that will (hopefully) delight people who were (or still are!) in fandom spaces. And that you’re never too old for fandom.
