Female Fantasy

Alls fair in love and lore. Joonie is living in a fantasyat least thats what people keep telling her. A copywriter by day and fanfic auteur by night, Joonie continues to date and dump disappointing men in search of a happily ever after. But every potential suitor seems to have one flaw in common: They cant hold a candle to her book boyfriend, Ryke. The protagonist of her favorite fantasy romance series (and, notably, a sexy merman), Ryke is a symbol for the life Joonie craves and the kind of relationship she deserves. So with a book always in her back pocket, why would she ever settle for less? But when Joonie learns that Rykes character is based on someone the author knows in real life, she embarks on an epic quest to track him down, meet him in person, and determine once and for all if soulmates really do exist. Unfortunately, her brothers annoying best friend who doesnt believe in love or happy endings insists on hitching a ride. And like any great heros journey, it doesnt take long for the trials and tribulations to begin. As Joonie fights her way toward her love interest, using the skills she acquired through reading, shell learn an important lesson: You can pursue a fantasy, but you cant always write your own plot. As unhinged as it is brilliant, Female Fantasy is both a self-aware dive into the concept of genre and a wild, steamy romp. Most of all, though, its a heartfelt love letter to romance readers everywhere.
