Fan Base - Paperback

by Jane Hartsock (Author)

Obsession has consequences...

It's been twenty-five years since Babs and her super-fan sister, Margot, met teen heartthrob Austin Lewis while visiting their aunt and uncle in L.A., and the last three of those years have been brutal. In the aftermath of the tragic death of her husband, Babs has become paralyzed by grief, isolated from friends, and is fired from the Chicago law firm where she worked for nearly twenty years. It is at this point that she runs into Austin again.

Things are different now, though; the years have not been kind to Austin, either. In Chicago temporarily to manage his mother's estate and sell her house following her death, Austin has long-since been relegated to D-list status. Only Gen-X nostalgia and his good eye as a producer keep him connected to the business that once made him a star. Bonding through their respective griefs, Austin and Babs quickly fall for each other. However, as their relationship intensifies, Babs becomes the target of aggressive cyberbullying, which Austin suspects originates with a small, toxic subset of his fandom who call themselves the "Lewnatics."

When it is revealed that Margot is a Lewnatic, Babs must decide who to trust as she forges a new life with Austin at her side.
