SPOILER ALERT

Isabelle Ruther narrates a charming IRL romance between online friends--one of whom happens to be famous. April Whittier has been active in fandom for years, which no one in her real-life circles knows until an interaction with TV star Marcus Caster-Rupp goes viral, and the two end up on a date. Ruther perfectly captures April's sparkling wit, vivacious personality, and fierce intelligence. These explain why, although others may question what a Hollywood hottie sees in her, April has no doubts about her worth as an individual. Ruther gently teases out Marcus's vulnerability in sharing his true self with April, feelings that are complicated because he's been hiding them from all but a few close friends for a very long time.
