< the desire by followers of a fandom for two people (either in real-life or fiction) to be in a romantic relationship> When Cerys’ secret crush Jake moves to a new college, she realises she’s running out of time to take their relationship from platonic to romantic. She’ll do anything to get out of Jake’s friendzone, 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. But when Jake introduces Cerys to his shiny new friend Max, who goes to all the fandom conventions (and loves a costume or three), Cerys realises she’ll need to do a lot more to grab Jake’s attention than just read a few fanfics. Can Cerys convince Jake they should become the new couple to ship? Or will he see straight through her cosplay? A fandom-centric romcom full of TikTok’s favourite tropes such as #mistakenidentity, #enemiestolovers, and #oppositesattract. All about self-confidence and the power of finding your tribe, DO YOU SHIP IT is a beautifully lighthearted YA from bestselling author Beth Reekles, perfect for fans of Holly Bourne, Jenny Han, and Lynn Painter.
