Look at it isn't it so beautiful 🥹😭

As keen eyes may have noticed, there’s also a release date up there (March 16th!). We also now have:

That's right, a preorder link! Should your heart desire, you can buy it right this very moment.

(The PRH site actually has links to a bunch of different vendors; some of them won't be live until closer to the date, but you should have plenty to choose from. You can also preorder through your local indie bookstore.)

When NHL star forward Will Burns gets sent a fic about him and his best friend (and team captain), he laughs it off. It’s a joke. It has to be. But one late-night scroll turns into another…and another—and suddenly Will’s a little too invested. Because the fic gets a few things right.

I’ve said it before, but this novel feels so much like one of my fics to me. It has the same prolonged sense of yearning that I’ve struggled to capture in previous attempts at original fiction but that came so easily as soon as I tried writing in the romance genre. The difference is that I've spent way more time polishing this one, and it's probably better than anything I've managed to post on ao3 (or at least it had better be at this point 😅). I love this book to pieces and I hope you'll read and enjoy it!!

It's not weird that we are here! There are SO MANY OF US! We're not outliers, we're not oddballs. We are occupying a space we CREATED and we are still fucking here, having fun with all our younger online friends, which is COOL AND GOOD and NOT EMBARRASSING ACTUALLY. It's fucking rad.

Look. We *built* online fandom, comrades! We built it with Angelfire and Geocities and the fucking telephone cables we unhooked from our phones to plug into our enormous, boxy desktop computers to suffer through glacial download speeds that today's children can't even fathom. I think we should all agree to stop apologizing for being here when this is our fucking house. An excellent sentiment (not mine):

To all of my beloved young friends - remember this when you get older. You don't need to grow out of fandom. Who the fuck cares if it's cringe? Childlike joy is something to CELEBRATE, NOT SOMETHING TO BURY AND HIDE!
