I loved how unfiltered and genuine Rowe was with the realities of disabled people. He opened up to the reader about his inner most thoughts and discussions that are usually hushed away, such as unemployment, sex, relationships, and parenthood. He explained that people with disabilities aren't helpless; they simply navigate the world differently. Not only does he actively tell the reader the hardships of a cis white disabled man, but also for disabled Black and POCs. He continues to learn about himself in ways he didn't think possible.
This book is a great conversational piece to understand and learn the struggles what disabled people have to deal with. Many people like myself might only understand disabilities such as Autism through pop culture or through a loved one. He presented how that came as a challenge when trying to get casted for character roles or forming relationships.

Story
Marcus Caster-Rupp has a secret. The world may know him as Aeneas, star of the biggest show on television, but fanfiction readers call him something else: Book!AeneasWouldNever. Marcus gets out his frustrations with the show through anonymous stories about the internet’s favorite couple, Aeneas and Lavinia. But if anyone discovered his online persona, he’d be finished in Hollywood.

Sis, I can't 🤩 The sass! The humor! The emotions! 😍🤩 I love how this story explores all the character's insecurities and how they grow. The author did a wonderful job creating characters that any reader can relate or even befriend.
