It was a fangirl

Ashley Poston, published September 16, 2021 at Lumen Editions.


Her favorite quote:

“Since a good part of my social life consists of squeezing pliers to expand my professional network, I learned to memorize names and faces very quickly.

I doubt Harper's friends will ever wear Gucci dresses or become the face of a totally bogus slimming capsule maker, but at least their smiles are genuine and their handshakes are frank.

These are the ones that deserve to be in the foreground.

She's the kind of girl I would never have been able to talk to in normal times, because they wouldn't have felt it necessary to take an interest in me: Jessica Stone, they already know.

"


Why this book?

  • Because it's volume two of a trilogy of which I loved

    the first volume and its story revolving around a science fiction saga.

    If we were closely interested in the male role, Darrien, in the previous volume, it is the turn of his partner on the screen, Jessica, to have the beautiful role in it.

  • Because we find ourselves in a modernized version

    of

    Prince and the Poor 

    by Mark Twain.

    Here, it is the turn of the fashionable actress to exchange her place with an illustrious stranger for a few days.

    If Jessica finally learns to be herself and not to have to pay attention to her image all the time, Imogen gradually discovers that celebrity is not rosy and that she had misjudged the life of her double.

  • Because pop culture is more than present in this novel.

    The plot taking place over a very few days, we dive completely into the science fiction convention, through the eyes of the main and secondary characters.

    Here we are talking about cosplay, people from manga, anime, series, fan art or even fanfiction, the most “geek” passions of young people these days.

The plot.

 The star of a science fiction series, which she would like to have abandoned, misplaces the scenario of the second opus and finds himself accused of having revealed the plot to the general public.

To find the culprit, she will give way to Imogen, a fan who looks like her physically, but whose character is very different.

.

This book was read with impatience

.

I really fell in love with the characters in volume one, which we quickly review here.

Even if I clung a little less to the heroines of this volume, the fact of remaining in the same universe of Starfield I really liked.
