Grace and the Fever

Rainbow Rowell's "Fangirl" meets Jenny Han's "The Summer I Turned Pretty" in this contemporary YA about what it means to be a fan—and what it means to be a friend—when your whole world is in flux.

In middle school, everyone was a Fever Dream fan. Now, a few weeks after her high school graduation, Grace Thomas sometimes feels like the only one who never moved on. She can't imagine what she'd do without the community of online fans that share her obsession. Or what her IRL friends would say if they ever found out about it.

Then, one summer night, the unthinkable happens: Grace meets her idol, Jes. What starts out as an elusive glimpse of Fever Dream's world turns into an unlikely romance, and leads her to confront dark, complex truths about herself and the realities of stardom.

"Grace and the Fever" is a heart-clutching reminder of what it's like to fall in love—whether it's with a boy or a boy band—and how difficult it is to figure out who you are after you've fallen out of love again.
