She can’t imagine what she’d do without the community of online fans that share her obsession. Or what her IRL friends would say if they ever found out about it. Then, one summer night, the unthinkable happens: Grace meets her idol, Jes. What starts out as an elusive glimpse of Fever Dream’s world turns into an unlikely romance, and leads her to confront dark, complex truths about herself and the realities of stardom.…

"Grace Thomas is about to start college and has a secret she keeps from her closest friends: She is deeply involved in online community of her favorite band, Fever Dream. Then the extraordinary happens – Grace strikes up a romance with Fever Dream heartthrob Jes Holloway after a chance meeting on a suburban street. The premise might sound like One Direction fan fiction, but hear me out. This book is not a flimsy romance. It’s a well-observed dissection of what happens when our public and private lives crash into each other, whether you’re an international pop star or a painfully ordinary teenage girl."
