Publisher's summary

A national bestseller!

When it comes to romance, sometimes it doesn't hurt to play games. A fun YA romcom full of fake dating hijinks!

No one loves musicals more than Riley Morris—her dream is to be a Broadway director. But when the spring show is canceled, Riley has to figure out a way to bring it back. Easier said than done—she’s stuck working at her dad’s game store. The place that means more to him than his family does.

Riley can't waste time at a dead-end job when her entire future is resting on making a name for herself. So she convinces her co-worker Nathan Wheeler—the floppy-haired, glasses-wearing guy she barely knows from school—to help her. In exchange, she’ll help him make his gamer-girl crush jealous. Plus it won’t hurt to show her egotistical ex, Paul, just what he’s missing without her.

Soon Riley and Nathan are “a couple,” and people seem to believe it. But selling the ruse means joining Nathan’s role-playing game. To Riley’s surprise, the game is almost fun. And even more surprising, flirting with Nathan doesn’t require as much acting as she thought it would. . . .

And don't miss Kristy Boyce's next gaming romance, Dating and Dragons, coming January 2025!

"Fake dating is everywhere in YA, but this nerdy take is lots of fun—and even a little magical." —Booklist

cute and sweet

From the perspective of a grown adult who is reading this for entertainment, I loved it! It was cute and fun and interesting. I enjoyed all the characters. I loved how her relationship with her dad grew and how she found a community in the gaming store. I loved her strong personality.
I didn't love that she didnt really get any consequences for lying and breaking her parents' trust. But you can't win them all. I thought the romance was a bit mature for her age, but that depends on your standards. overall a good message!

Great Book!

As a lover of both the theatre and all things geeky I loved all the references. This was a great book I could not stop listening sorta sad that I finished it so fast :C Love the character development of the main character just found it hard to believe that the main love interest fell in love with MC when he says he did but aside of the. Great story!

Adorable

If you want a wholesome and sweet nerdy love story this is for you! This will make you wanna curl up with your favourite tavern mug full of tea. I hope there is a second one! The story was compelling and the friendships were captivating and beautiful! This was a Nat 20!

The story is adorable and had a good timeline for a romance, while still keeping the quirkiness of D&D with friends

I love the story. It's adorable. The characters were well developed, the plot had a good pace, the voice acting made the story as well. Overall enjoyed it. Once I started listening, it was hard to stop.

Exactly what you look for in a young adult romance

I really liked the book! The characters were cute and fun, the story stayed clean and still interesting and the banter is adorable. The only thing was a mild sadness that the same problem overtook the main characters of no communication with the real problem. I’d love a fresh take but over all would 100% recommend for someone who loves sweet and quirky ya romances

The whole book!!

I couldn’t pick a favorite part because I seriously loved every bit of this book! 📚 I loved how it took me back to high school. There were parts where I was laughing, tearing up 🥺, clapping 👏 with excitement, heart racing with her. I was also cheering 📣 her on and just overall fell in love with Riley!

I wasn’t able to put this book down. I would have had a whole day to read it I could have gotten it done in one setting. My husband is a gamer and is starting a D&D group. I started reading this book at Gencon which is the largest game boarding convention in the 🌍 world. It was so fitting to read this book on this vacation. Definitely a high recommendation for me. Would absolutely love a book about some of the other characters!
