But as these "princesses" race to find the script leaker-in each other's shoes-they're up against more than they bargained for. The deal: Imogen will play Jess at her signings and panels, and Jess will help Imogen's best friend run their booth. When the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, with all signs pointing to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. Though Imogen and Jess have nothing in common, they do look strangely similar to one another-and a case of mistaken identity at ExcelsiCon sets off a chain of events that will change both of their lives. Jessica Stone doesn't even like being part of the Starfield franchise-and she's desperate to leave the intense scrutiny of fandom behind. On the other hand, the actress who plays Amara wouldn't mind being axed. Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: to save her favorite Starfield character, Princess Amara, from being killed off. The Prince and the Pauper gets a Geekerella-style makeover in this witty and heartfelt novel for those who believe in the magic of fandom. Can Abby find a way to reconcile her positive yet private sense of self with the image others have of her? Instead of feeling like she's landed a starring role, Abby feels betrayed. Just as Abby starts to feel like she's no longer the sidekick in her own life, Jordi's photography surprisingly puts her in the spotlight. She also unwittingly becomes friends with Jax, a lacrosse playing bro-type who wants her help finding the best burger in Los Angeles, and she's struggling to prove to her mother-the city's celebrity health nut-that she's perfectly content with who she is. But really, nothing this summer is going as planned.
And now she's competing against the girl she's kissing to win the coveted paid job at the end of the internship. Then she falls for her fellow intern, Jordi Perez. When she lands a great internship at her favorite boutique, she's thrilled to take the first step toward her dream career. While her friends and sister have plunged headfirst into the world of dating and romances, Abby's been happy to focus on her plus-size style blog and her dreams of taking the fashion industry by storm. "This book is the queer, fat girl rom-com of my dreams! Plus-size fashion, a fat girl falling in love, nuanced friendships, and cheeseburgers! Did I mention cheeseburgers?" -Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin' Seventeen, fashion-obsessed, and gay, Abby Ives has always been content playing the sidekick in other people's lives.
