My novel is called "Fanboy" - it's a YA LGBT romance which explores fandom, anxiety, shifting dynamics and at the heart of it, it's a romance between a neurotic introvert and a charming, happy-go-lucky rugby player. Kind of like a slightly grittier Heartstopper.
Synopsis:
Nate Cook's summer isn't going as planned. Back home in Brighton, his dad has a new girlfriend he can't stand, his old friends have moved on, and he hasn't told anyone he might not return to university. The only things keeping him sane are the cult supernatural Netflix show he loves and the fan art Instagram account where his illustrations have gained a loyal following. Not to mention the fellow fan he's been messaging-someone who might actually understand him.
Then there's Rob "Noddy" Garcia, his older brother's rugby-playing best mate, who's frustratingly easygoing, effortlessly charming, and now Nate's co-worker at his dad's iconic sweet shop. Noddy is everything Nate isn't-warm, extroverted, and annoyingly hard to ignore.
