~Can't Wait Wednesday: Ship It~


                Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Wishful Endings.  Waiting on Wednesday has been don for some time so I am switching it up for now!  Basically books that are not yet out that we are dying to get our hands on.  This week’s pick is:

Ship It by Britta Lundin
Out:  5/1

From Goodreads:
                Claire is a sixteen-year-old fangirl obsessed with the show Demon Heart.  Forest is an actor on Demon Heart who dreams of bigger roles.  When the two meet at a local Comic-Con panel, it’s a dream come true for Claire.  Until the Q&A, that is when Forest laughs off Claire’s assertion that his character is gay.  Claire is devastated.  After all, every last word of her super-popular fanfic revolves around the romance between Forest’s character and his male frenemy.  She can’t believe her hero turned out to be a closed-minded jerk.  Forest is mostly confused that anyone would think his character is gay.  Because he’s not.  Definitely not.
               
                Unfortunately for Demon Heart, when the video of the disastrous Q&A goes viral, the producers have a PR nightmare on their hands.  In order to help bolster their image within the LGBTQ+ community-as well as with their fans-they hire Claire to join the cast for the rest of their publicity tour.  What ensues is a series of colorful Comic-Con clashes between the fans and the show that lead Forest to question his assumptions about sexuality and help Claire come out of her shell.  But how far will Claire go to make her ship canon?  To what lengths will Forest go to stop her and protect his career?  And will Claire ever get the guts to make a move on Tess, the very cute, extremely cool fanartist she keeps running into?

Why I’m Waiting:
                 Okay so this basically sounds like so many of my favorite books combined and made a baby.  I get hints of Fangirl, Geekerella, All the Feels and more.  I just can’t wait to get this one and check it out.

                What are you waiting on?  Tell me below what you think of this title and leave a link to your CWW as well so I can check it out.

  8. Yes, please. This was one of my anticipated books for 2018. I love going to Cons in books and this story sounds quite wonderful as well. (and I agree with your assessment of all the books it is a sort of combination of)
