Goodreads Synopsis:
College freshman Liv is
more than just a fangirl: The Starveil movies are her life… So, when her
favorite character, Captain Matt Spartan, is killed off at the end of
the last movie, Liv Just. Can’t. Deal.
Tired of sitting in her room sobbing, Liv decides to launch an online campaign to bring her beloved hero back to life. With the help of her best friend, Xander, actor and steampunk cosplayer extraordinaire, she creates #SpartanSurvived, a campaign to ignite the fandom. But as her online life succeeds beyond her wildest dreams, Liv is forced to balance that with the pressures of school, her mother’s disapproval, and her (mostly nonexistent and entirely traumatic) romantic life. A trip to DragonCon with Xander might be exactly what she needs to figure out what she really wants.

Taylor Simmons is screwed.
Things were hard enough when her single-minded dedication to her studies earned her the reputation of being an Ice Queen, but after getting drunk at a party and waking up next to bad boy surfer Evan McKinley, the entire school seems intent on tearing Taylor down with mockery and gossip.
Desperate to salvage her reputation, Taylor persuades Evan to pretend they’re in a serious romantic relationship. After all, it’s better to be the girl who tames the wild surfer than just another notch on his surfboard.

Why?:
I am a big sucker for fan-based
characters and/or stories. I can’t help myself. So of course this sounds very
cute to me. I’m intrigued, and mostly just hoping that I enjoy it when I get
the chance.
As for the second pick, I’m intrigued.
The idea of the book sounds interesting to me, and I do tend to like stories
like this, where someone’s reputation is ruined, where there’s slut-shaming
shown in a bad way. It mostly just matters how it’s handled, and how the
romance turns out. I’m hopeful.
What’s on your list?
