They say never meet your heroes, but does the hero of your fave fantasy series count?

Former misfit and hardcore ‘Of Wrath and Rune’ fangirl Anissa is finally learning to come out of her shell. When filming for OWAR moves to a local studio, Anissa jumps at the chance to get a work experience placement on set.

Enter Callum: the hot, new actor who’s causing a stir this season, both online and on set. Anissa loves the character Callum plays, but she’s devastated when she gets a little too starstruck the first time they meet, and Callum writes her off as an obsessive fangirl. This is not how meeting the guy behind her favourite character was supposed to go!

But as the two begin to spend more time together, and Callum opens up to Anissa about his newfound stardom, she starts to realise that sometimes getting lost in the fantasy isn’t always as wonderful as what’s waiting for you in reality . . .

For Real This Time is a heartfelt romcom about opening yourself up to new possibilities and falling in love with what’s real, perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell, Holly Bourne and Lynn Painter.
