Dungeons and Drama
by Kristy Boyce
What is it about:
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...
What did I think of it:
So I couldn't resist picking up a book that's set at a game shop!
This is a fun read.
Are some of the characters stereotypes: yes! Is Riley a bit of a sparkly special unicorn: Yes! But as Boyce did seem to know her games, and the story is fun and entertaining I won't hold it against her. (I do feel I probably shouldn't read her book Hot Dutch Daydream)
Bonus point to the person who made the cover: I had fun recognizing the games they used.
All in all a very enjoyable read.
Why should you read it:
It's a fun and entertaining read.
