A social outcast in high school but a big hit in the online fanfiction community, Scarlett Epstein starts to incorporate some real life inspirations into her fanfic . . . but what she says online might just come back to bite her IRL.

“Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl meets Harriet the Spy.”—Teen Vogue

“Absolutely delightful, the kind of book you’ll be reading for an hour before you realize you’ve been grinning the whole time.”—BuzzFeed

Meet Scarlett Epstein, BNF (Big Name Fan) in her online community of fanfiction writers, world-class nobody at Melville High. Her best (read: only) IRL friends are Avery, a painfully shy and annoyingly attractive bookworm, and Ruth, her weed-smoking seventy-three-year-old neighbor.

When Scarlett’s beloved TV show is canceled and her longtime crush, Gideon, is sucked out of her orbit and into the dark and distant world of Populars, Scarlett turns to the fanfic message boards for comfort. This time, though, her subjects aren’t the swoon-worthy stars of her fave series—they’re the real-life kids from her high school. And if they ever find out what Scarlett truly thinks about them, she’ll be thrust into a situation far more dramatic than anything she’s ever seen on TV. . . .
