Humor (Fiction.) Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. CLAIRE is a sixteen-year-old fangirl obsessed with the show Demon Heart. FOREST is an actor on Demon Heart who dreams of bigger roles. When the two meet at a local Comic-Con panel, it's a dream come true for Claire. Until the Q&A, that is, when Forest laughs off Claire's assertion that his character is gay. Claire is devastated. After all, every last word of her super-popular fanfic revolves around the romance between Forest's character and his male frenemy. She can't believe her hero turned out to be a closed-minded jerk. Forest is mostly confused that anyone would think his character is gay. Because he's not. Definitely not. Unfortunately for Demon Heart, when the video of the disastrous Q&A goes viral, the producers have a PR nightmare on their hands. In order to help bolster their image within the LGBTQ+ communityâ??as well as with their fansâ??they hire Claire to join the cast for the rest of their publicity tour. What ensues is a series of colorful Comic-Con clashes between the fans and the show that lead Forest to question his assumptions about sexuality and help Claire come out of her shell. But how far will Claire go to make her ship canon? To what lengths will Forest go to stop her and protect his career? And will Claire ever get the guts to make a move on Tess, the very cute, extremely cool fanartist she keeps running into? Ship It is a funny, tender, and honest look at all the feels that come with being… (meer)

*I got this book for review for the publisher for my honest thoughts*

I really enjoyed this novel so a lot. It def focused on LGBTQ characters but focused so much more on fandom and hollywood life and also normal struggles of teenagers. I grew to love these characters throughout this book. It was really quick read. It had some predictable moments but I loved how we also got to see fan fiction chapters as well as the duel POV. I thought the book was prefect summer read and got me super excited to attend my bookish conventions at the end of the month. I found it to be a really quick read and will def. check out more by this author in the future.

Lovely novel about the tensions between creators, performers and fans. Everyone is a fan of something, be it a sci-fi show, video game, or fast food chain. Plus i am a sucker for books set at cons; queer romances; and stories that explore thorny ethical issues. Ship It check all those boxes. ( )

Claire lives in a place where being out is a rarity, she's unsure about her sexual orientation, but when it comes to the two main characters on her favorite TV show, there's no ambiguity in her mind. They're attracted to each other and her fan fiction blog makes no bones about it. With a second season of Demon Heart in doubt, the show goes on the road to three comic cons to drum up interest. When they hit one in Boise, Idaho, Claire's there and starts a firestorm by pushing her idea of Smokey and Heart as a pair. The ensuing controversy is seen by Demon Hunter's PR staff as good buzz, so they fake a contest and make Claire the winner of a trip to the two remaining cons in Portland and Seattle.
No matter what reality screams from then on, Claire persists in trying to get the actors and producer to open the door to something romantic between the main characters. Meanwhile, she meets Tess at the Boise con and despite her fear of exploring her own sexuality, feels an attraction that grows and wanes, then grows again through the other two cons. Claire's reality and behavior are messy and borderline irritating at points in the story, but by the end, you can't help but want to pat her on the back for her determination. ( )

DNF @ 59%

Two things made me have to DNF - comparing being openly queer to openly liking fanfic and cult tv shows, as though that is AT ALL the same struggle, and Forest getting a little two interested in the sex life of a literal child? Like, what? You've never seen queer people before, and have so much internalised homophobia, but then when you see a child possibly dating a girl, you're suddenly wide open to the idea, I'm -

No. ( )
