Angelica burned out last year after taking on much more than she could handle. Now she’s ready to get back out there, winning an internship at her town’s local theater. Ever since Jelly had her breakdown, she’s been communicating with the star of the theater, Peri the Bear, through social media. That Bear saved her at her lowest point and now she wants nothing more than to meet them face to face, but the person behind the mascot might surprise her.

I am so glad we have another @trungles book out in the world! I loved the return to the fairytale retelling we got from Magic Fish. Make sure to read the Author’s Note about his failure (which ended up being a fantastic win, in my humble opinion). This book had great representation: fat positivity, therapy, nonbinary & AAPI rep. I can’t wait for release date: October 7!

CW: infidelity, anxiety, grief, death of a grandparent (off page), mental health struggles, toxic relationship
