Double Standard (out now from 831 Stories) follows Ana Barlow, a Hollywood starlet cast in her first-ever leading role: Athena. Below, Thomas opens up about mistaken identities, fake dating, and disability representation. Then you also have the more obvious duality of you’re fake dating the stunt double and trying to play it off like it’s this other person. I truly love fake dating. I will say my favorite microtrope, which does not exist in Double Standard, is where they’re fake dating and they have to really sell it to their friends.
