When it comes to romance, sometimes it doesn't hurt to play games. A fun YA romcom full of fake dating hijinks! Musical lover Riley has big aspirations to become a director on Broadway. Crucial to this plan is to bring back her high school’s spring musical, but when Riley takes her mom’s car without permission, she's grounded and stuck with the worst punishment: spending her after-school hours working at her dad’s game shop. Riley can't waste her time working when she has a musical to save, so she convinces Nathan—a nerdy teen employee—to cover her shifts and, in exchange, she’ll flirt with him to make his gamer-girl crush jealous. But Riley didn’t realize that meant joining Nathan's Dungeons & Dragons game…or that role playing would be so fun. Soon, Riley starts to think that flirting with Nathan doesn't require as much acting as she would've thought...

This book is the perfect combination of nerdy + hilarious + as sweet and fuzzy as cotton candy.
This YA book was so fun to read - I demolished it in two days! It was a joy to read about characters who share my interests, and witness the fantastic friend group that formed. The community at the game store was a beautiful thing too. Have already pre-ordered Kristy Boyce’s second game themed book that comes out early 2025.
this book is so formulaic and is like a teen netflix movie come to life and i. love. it.
also had me casually ugly crying over the father daughter relationship
