Frances is mixed race, having an Ethiopian father and a white mother, and she wishes she "was closer to her ethnicity in general", wanting her father's surname of Mengesha rather than her name of Janvier.Daniel is gay, Aled is demisexual (which I've never seen featured in YA before, and is brilliantly explained!), Frances is bisexual and Carys is a lesbian.
Can the girl who hates failure succeed at this seemingly impossible task? Frances blames herself for the world finding out his secret, and is determined to fix things between them and get the show back on air. That doesn't seem possible in this over-connected internet age, and soon enough Aled's name is floating around in the 'Universe City' tag, along with pictures of him and Frances taken from his personal Facebook.Īled goes to university and cuts all contact with Frances and Daniel, and within a couple of months he's ended the podcast.
Frances attempts damage control and admits that they're right, but begs everyone to leave the Creator alone and let his identity remain a secret. If people find out who he is, his mum will force him to end the podcast, and it's all he's ever really cared about. Messages flood in demanding she tells everyone who the Creator is, and after her, Aled, and Aled's best friend and sort-of boyfriend, Daniel get drunk and upload a video of them messing around in a field, the messages change from questions to accusations: her real name is Frances Janvier, and she should just admit it.Īled panics.
But if she was shocked to find out Aled was a fan, she's doubly surprised when he tells her he's not just another listener: he's the mysterious, anonymous Creator, and he's been living opposite her the entire time.īecoming fast friends, Frances starts making art for 'Universe City', growing her fandom blog from a few hundred followers to thousands.
