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 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
This was a cute, fun read! When I first heard about the premise I was like “why would the drama kids and the TTRPG/LARP kids be enemies, they are natural allies???” but um pretty quickly the characters figure that out too soo...good for them.
I will say: for being die-hard theater nerd Riley sure does refer to Broadway musical CAST RECORDINGS as SOUNDTRACKS and therefore as a teen I would have cyberbullied her. DO YOUR RESEARCH KRISTY BOYCE >:(
