The Crave Platform Lets Users Bring Desirable Novel Characters to Live

Readers often times find themselves becoming connected to characters in books, and the Crave app allows users to bring their literary romances to life with a virtual platform. The app allows users to make the romance a simulated reality by convertings characters from books into digital renditions using sounds, GIFs and back-and-forth iMessage conversations.

The marks of a good book often come down to the believability of the characters, that draw readers in and make them feel connected to the storyline. The Crave app offers a space for readers to bring the characters to life and interact with them as if they were real. The app currently offers only one book at the moment, called November 9, and interaction with the characters from the novel as well as the author.
