It was super fun to read a book so inspired by D&D. I enjoyed the D&D characters even more than the characters of the book actually.
The reason for the 3.75 rating is because the pace at which the romance happens was unrealistically fast. I get that they knew each other as teens, but June’s self-discovery, Nova’s quick forgiving, and then immediately jumping into being in love just didn’t feel like fleshed-out writing in the romance department.
Otherwise, Nova being neurodivergent and non-binary was very well written. They went by she/they pronouns and the author would switch between the pronouns seamlessly.

This was so cuteeeee! D&D was so important in my coming out experience and seeing that in a book for a couple of gay nerds is so validating. The roleplay during sex was not my vibe hence the .75.

Omg! This was cutest, spiciest, nerdy neurodivergent sapphic queer romance novel ever. I loved both Nova and June, and was rooting for them through the entire book. I’m still swooning.
