Description
A short story from the Interlude Press COME WHAT MAY collection.
Wen Devante is Insta famous with a massive following and a flare for fashion. At almost 18, they have already published a book on gender nonconformity, released several songs on Spotify and appeared on television. During the first wave of Covid-19 lockdown, they reach out to an unsuspecting Kaye, one of their 2.3 million followers. The two form a bond, first through Instagram messages and then through Zoom. They discover there are ways to have a meaningful relationship despite the bleak circumstances. In fact, the pandemic seems to make reaching out even easier than it used to be.

I loved this so much, I wasn’t sure if I would knowing it was about covid and usually I just want to forget about all of that while reading, but this was SO GOOD and I hope everyone reads it if you need something joyful

Kaye is shocked when Wen - an Insta celebrity they're a huge fan of - reaches out to them over the internet during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. The two grow closer in over the following months in this gorgeous short.
This is the only YA I've read so far that deals with COVID-19 and it's going to be hard to improve on it! It's a super-cute romance with two utterly charming leads, and I read it with a massive smile on my face all the way through. The way it builds up, showing scenes from the two main characters' lives as they support each other throughout a traumatic year, is really sweet and perfectly-paced.. The dialogue is sparkling and both of the leads are adorable. Huge recommendation as a perfect pick-me-up for anyone who wants to read a story that will show a glimmer of hope to all of us trying to get through the current situation.
