Off Book | Jessica Dahl
Forthcoming from REUTS Publications
Twenty-year-old Eloise has learned all she can from the School, where
characters live until joining their novels. No one knows genre and plot
structure better than her, but despite her knowledge, she’s yet to be assigned
to her own story. All her friends are off starting their lives with their
authors—and if Eloise doesn’t get assigned soon, she’ll fade away, forgotten by
all.
When she is suddenly offered a job at
the Recording Office, she takes the chance to write her own future. Suddenly
living among the post-storied, Eloise meets Barnaby Fitzwilliam, a former
romance novel hero who hasn’t lost any of his in-story charm. But just as their
relationship begins to get serious, everything Eloise has been taught gets
turned upside down when she’s sucked into a novel she was never meant to be
part of.
Now, caught where the only rules are
made by the authors and truly anything is possible, Eloise must find her way
back home—or else her life might end before she ever gets the chance to live
it.
Set in a world dictated by Authors, OFF
BOOK explores the story beneath the stories we all know and love, taking
readers and characters alike on an adventure just waiting to be written.
