GRACE AND THE FEVER

Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl meets Jenny Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty in this contemporary YA about what it means to be a fan - and what it means to be a friend - when your whole world is in flux.

Flash. -- Click. ---- "Hey, who are you?"

For years, Grace Thomas has had an easy answer to that question: no one. Not in real life, anyway. Online, she's Gigi, a moderately popular blogger in the Fever Dream fandom, writing daily posts about Jes, Kendrick, Land and Solly-- especially Land and Solly, and the conspiracy of secrecy that surrounds what she and her friends know is a hidden love affair between them. But IRL? She's as impossibly ordinary as the boys in the band are outrageously, emphatically not.

When a paparazzo captures a chance, late-night encounter between her and Jes, Grace finds herself suddenly inside of the photographs she's been looking at all her life. She's drawn into the complicated world of the Fever Dream boys, and starts to see the stark divide between their highly public and carefully guarded private lives-- and how desperately they're fighting to keep it that way.

As she turns from unwitting accomplice to de-facto partner-in-crime, Grace has to learn to navigate their high-stakes world alongside her own private, personal reckoning: if the boys she's built her life around for so many years are just a facade, who is she, really? Even if life with Fever Dream turns out to be nothing like she'd imagined it, is she really ready to wake up from it yet?
