BOOK SUMMARY:

From the author of the nationally bestselling Dungeons and Drama comes another gaming romance that’s sure to win you over!

Quinn Norton is starting over at a new high school and hopes that joining a D&D game will be the trick to making friends. The plan sounds even better when she’s invited into a group that includes Logan Weber, the cute and charming guy she met on her first day of class. But this isn’t your average D&D campaign— this group livestreams their games and enforces strict rules: no phones allowed, and no dating other group members.

Quinn is willing to accept the rules, even if it makes Logan off-limits. And she quickly learns that doing so won’t be a problem, since Logan goes from charismatic to insufferable as soon as she agrees to join. As their bickering—and bantering—intensifies inside and outside the game, Quinn can’t help wondering: Is Logan’s infuriating behavior a smokescreen for hidden feelings? Quinn is risking it all, and the twenty-sided dice are rolling!

ANOTHER CUTE READ.

These just make me smile. They have that true high school quality (and as an adult I can definitely get frustrated but it feels very true to the characters so it’s fine, just mentioning) and I love that I could actually hand this off to someone in the YA age group without an issue.

The romance is cute and has a little bit of a forbidden vibe to it. There’s some sweet and swoony lines and a whole lot of moments for connection and interaction. But I also really loved that the main theme centered more on found family and finding your people. Those who love and support you. And I am always in love with a supportive and caring family too.

The audiobook was great. I loved the narrator. It’s a fast and light read. Plenty of D&D content if that’s your thing and I’m happy with another book that made me smile.
