A young woman enters her freshman year of college with an atypical side hustle: secretly writing commissioned fanfics online about world-famous YA fantasy series, The Court of Copperfield. The Writer pens magical adventures and pulse-quickening romances with the series’ dreamy male leads, who operate as her personal Greek chorus on her journey from adolescence to adulthood. But no amount of writing can prepare her for when she falls for a real, live 18-year-old guy - one who won’t follow the storylines she’s made up in her mind. Meanwhile, her Roommate reads fanfics to explore his gender identity, and finds a writer who reminds him of someone he knows – if only he could put his finger on just who it is…
