Out of Character

By: Jenna Miller

Narrated by: Joy Nash

Dumplin’ meets Geekerella in debut author Jenna Miller’s queer, body-positive love story that explores online and offline relationships in all of their messiness.

If you asked seventeen-year-old Cass Williams to describe herself, she’d happily tell you she’s fat, a lesbian, and 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 who walked out or how unexpectedly stressful it is dating resident cool girl Taylor Cooper.

But secretly retreating to her online life is starting to catch up with 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 for 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 safe space or keep it a secret and put everything else on the line.

Fun to listen to!

This was my first audio book and I really enjoyed it. The story was well written and moved along well. I don’t know much about the role playing world so I was a little lost during portions of the story but overall well done!

very cute and enjoyable

I recommend this one. it was a little weird and talking about addiction and not of everything necessarily landed, but overall it's definitely a good fun and sweetbook

Affirmation there is humor and romance for all!

Fun and real with the complexities of family relationships as well as first-time romance.

Loved it!!!!

The narrator did an amazing job, and this is an amazing book! So glad I was able to listen to it
