Maggie is 48, and now that her son has left for college, she's living on her own for the first time since her twenties. She's made the transition from introvert to full on hermit, so she joins a local online gaming guild made up of community college students who Maggies assumes are in their 20s. Aiden, moved back home to help take care of his mother and is the leader of the local gaming guild. He's also 50, not 20, so when a friendship builds between the two, they're shocked to learn who the other person really is.

I really loved this book. The romance is builds from friendship to something more, and I loved the journey the main characters go on. I also loved the bisexual/demisexual representation.

Content warning: there's some queerphobia by side characters and one main character is outed.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a delightful read about two adults finding love later in life. After a rough divorce and her son leaving for college Maggie has settled in to being an antisocial introvert that hates human interaction. But when she joins an online gaming group she finds that maybe not all humans suck. A great slow burn friends-to-lovers this novel also addresses coming out as an adult, dealing with rude family, and being true to yourself.
