Illustrated Girl
by Josephine Angelini
Ever wish you could travel inside your favorite book and become the main character? Of course you have. Everyone has. But if you ever manage to pull it off, here's a tip. Timing is everything... Take Holly for example, who after saying a spell is transported inside a fairytale called The Chronicles of Lucitopia, a magical world infested with grifter grandmas, halitosis-riddled bandits, and devoid of any functioning toilets. Holly becomes Princess Pleasant exactly as she wished, but she gets there too late, right after an evil sorcerer turns Lucitopia into a tetanus-ridden hellhole. And now, it's up to Holly to make things right. With the help of a freakishly handsome, yet frustratingly virtuous knight, Holly sets out to fix her story, but she only has fifteen days left to do so or she risks being stuck in Lucitopia for the rest of her life, which may prove to be a short one considering she's overdue for her shots--

She'll do anything to get out of Jake's friend zone, even if that means finally diving into the huge fantasy fandom he loves so much. Though she absolutely can't see the appeal in Of Wrath and Rune, if Jake loves it, then Cerys will too. When Jake introduces Cerys to his shiny new friend Max, who goes to all the fandom conventions--in cosplay (cringe)--Cerys realizes she'll need to do a lot more to grab Jake's attention than just read a few fanfics. But Max, with his dimples and dry humor, always seems to be hanging around, getting in the way. Cerys is determined to become the ultimate fangirl to finally get on Jake's radar. What she doesn't expect is that she might actually like Of Wrath and Rune . . . and might like DMing with a suspiciously familiar guy in the fandom even more.
