I bought this book back in 2019. It was recommended to me and I just never really picked it up until recently. I was not excepting what this book had to store. I wish I saw more people reading this book. I think a lot of readers would like this one.
We follow Claire who is going to her first comic-con. I personally have never been to comic-con (or how Denver calls it, Pop Culture Con) but have always wanted to go. Claire is obsessed with two actors from the new TV show Demon Heart and is even in fandoms where the two main characters are shipped together. During a Q&A event Claire asks what everyone else wants to know, are the two main characters gay. Everyone laughs and Forrest one of the leads even pushes it off in a rude manor.
To try to mend ways with he LGBTQ+ community the Demon Heart PR team let Claire “win” tickets to follow the Demon Heart cast to all the cons to “mend ways” Of course Claire already knows this is a joke but rolls with it since they are willing to give her anything she wants.
Buckle in for a ride. I did really enjoy this books and I think it has a lot of great points about how cast members to TV shows should act around fans, and about how celebrity’s are humans too,
I gave this book s 4 out of 5 stars.
“
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? Ship It is a funny, tender, and honest look at all the feels that come with being a fan”
