In this enemies-to-lovers romcom for fans of Ashley Poston and Rainbow Rowell, a fangirl brings her fictional heartthrob to life and finds that the real world might just be better than fiction...
Ivy Winslow has the house to herself for a week and her only plans are to binge-watch her favorite fantasy TV show, H-MAD, hang out with her best friend, Henry, and avoid her former best friend-turned enemy (and neighbor), Mack. But things go awry when Ivy wakes up one morning to find Weston, the gorgeous and very fictional main character of H-MAD, in her bedroom, claiming to be her soul mate.
Ivy's fanfic writing has somehow brought Weston as she's imagined him to life, but living out her fanfiction dreams isn't all it's cracked up to be. Her not-so-fictional crush is causing some major real-world problems and Ivy is desperate for help. To figure out why Weston is suddenly three-dimensional, she ropes Henry and a reluctant Mack into the chaos. As they spend more time together, Ivy and Mack are forced to deal with the fallout of their broken friendship and might just realize that they both want something more.
A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

      Bisexual 16-year-old Ivy Winslow adores Hot, Magical, and Deadly, a TV show about superpowered teen models. Feeling lonely and isolated with her parents out of town for a week, Ivy indulges in an angst-driven fanfic writing session, which somehow results in her favorite character, Weston, manifesting in Ivy’s bedroom. Now she must deal with the imaginary guy of her dreams—one shaped by her own writing—hanging around and acting out the plots of her fanfic. She recruits her aromantic and asexual best friend Henry and her former bestie turned mortal enemy, lesbian Mack, to help her send Weston back to his fictional realm. Meanwhile, Ivy and Mack must navigate the ups and downs of their
      complicated history and potential future, especially with Ivy caught between Weston’s unrelenting affections and her lingering crush on Mack. Gonzales (Never Ever Getting Back Together) adeptly treads a tricky yet insightful balance of real life and fiction to explore the sometimes messy nature of emotions, relationships, and wish fulfillment. A secondary focus on the flaws of common fanfic tropes injects additional cleverness into this good-humored rom-com. Ivy, Henry, and Weston read as white; Mack is Black. Ages 13–up. Agent: Molly Ker Hawn, Bent Agency.
