## About this book

Anissa is a former misfit and dedicated fan of the fantasy series Of Wrath and Rune. After securing a work experience placement on the set of the new television adaptation, she finds herself immersed in the world she loves. However, her excitement turns to embarrassment when she meets Callum, a rising young actor. Callum initially misinterprets Anissa as an obsessive fan, creating a difficult barrier between them as they navigate the pressures of fame and fandom.

For Real This Time, volume 1, explores the complicated boundary between fantasy and reality. This contemporary young adult fiction follows the developing connection between Anissa and Callum as they move past first impressions. As a heartfelt romance, the story examines what happens when the people behind our favorite characters prove to be more complex than expected. This juvenile fiction title offers a grounded look at love and self-discovery within the modern world of celebrity and fan culture.
