Publisher Description

The Prince and the Pauper gets an "unabashedly fun" gender-bent makeover in this LGBTQ young adult romance that captures the magic of fandom (POPSUGAR)!

Also features an excerpt from the next Once Upon a Con standalone novel, Bookish and the Beast.

Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: to save her favorite Starfield character, Princess Amara, from being killed off.

On the other hand, the actress who plays Amara wouldn't mind being axed. Jessica Stone doesn't even like being part of the Starfield franchise—and she's desperate to leave the intense scrutiny of fandom behind.

Though Imogen and Jess have nothing in common, they do look strangely similar to one another—and a case of mistaken identity at ExcelsiCon sets off a chain of events that will change both of their lives.

When the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, with all signs pointing to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible.

The deal: Imogen will play Jess at her signings and panels, and Jess will help Imogen's best friend run their booth.

But as these "princesses" race to find the script leaker—in each other's shoes—they're up against more than they bargained for.

From the darker side of fandom to unexpected crushes, Imogen and Jess must find a way to rescue themselves from their own expectations . . . and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.
