I think that this book was written for people who have experience with fan fiction and fan communities. I don't. 
 I really loved Rainbow Rowell's Attachments, but I think there was a lot of nostalgia for me in that book, and that's kind of what she specializes in, nostalgia. I'm also not convinced this is a YA novel, though it's marketed as such. Ultimately, it was a DNF for me.
