When seventeen-year-old Cass lands the girlfriend of her dreams, she struggles to hide her secret online life where she role-plays fanfiction scenes with a group of internet strangers, and things get even more complicated when she winds up falling for her scene partner, Rowan.
If you asked seventeen-year-old Cass Williams to describe herself, she'd happily tell you she's a fat lesbian obsessed with the Tide Wars books. What she won't tell you -- or anyone in her life -- is that she's part of an online Tide Wars roleplay community. Sure, it's nerdy as hell, but when she's behind the screen writing scenes as Captain Aresha, she doesn't have to think about her mother that walked out or how unexpectedly stressful it is to date resident cool girl Taylor Cooper. But secretly retreating to her online life is starting to catch up to Cass. For one, no one in her real life knows her secret roleplay addiction is the reason her grades have taken a big hit. Also? Cass has started catching feelings fro Rowan Davies, her internet bestie... and Taylor might be catching on. As Cass's lies continue to build, so does her anxiety. Roleplaying used to be the one place she could escape to, but this double life and offline-online love triangle have only made things worse. Cass must decide what to do -- be honest and risk losing her space or keep it a secret and put everything else on the line. What would Captain Aresha do?
