Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Handbook for Mortals is a 2017 novel by Lani Sarem. It enjoyed a (very) brief tenure on the New York Times bestseller list before being pulled because of the controversy surrounding the circumstances of its ascent.Early-twentysomething Zade Holder is the magically-gifted daughter of a tarot card reader living in a small, closed-minded Tennessee town. Because of this, she has always felt like an outcast and longs for a more normal life. One day, she leaves to work in the prestigious Las Vegas magic show run by famous illusionist Charles Spellman. Using actual magic, Zade easily gets a role, and achieves stardom, friendship, and the sense of belonging she's always wanted. Most significantly, Zade attracts the affections of two other employees of the show named Mac and Jackson. After months of dates, concerts, celebrity run-ins, and a magical duel in a shopping mall parking lot, Zade and Charles begin working on an actually-magic, potentially deadly, showstopping act. On opening night, complications in Zade's love life cause the act to go horribly wrong.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anachronism Stew: The Plain White T's are shown to be starting to become famous and on the verge of getting a record deal, which would place the story sometime in the first half of the 2000s, but the TV show Game of Thrones is mentioned as having at least two seasons, meaning that the novel must take place after 2012. Finally, Zade and Jackson go on a date to see a superhero movie starring Ryan Reynolds, which must have been either Green Lantern or Deadpool, films that came out in 2011 and 2016 respectively. | |

Author Avatar: Lani Sarem originally wrote Handbook as a screenplay in which she herself would play Zade. Thus, the only difference between Zade and Lani is that Zade can do magic for real, and Sarem is about ten years older than Zade is meant to be. Beyond that, Lani Sarem and Zade look very similar; they're similar heights and weights, they both have blonde, multicoloured hair, etc. | |
