It was ok. Gotta love a Shakespeare retelling, and I enjoyed the references to the original (obv Twelth Night). Reminded me of a geeky version of “She’s the Man.”
I like YA. However, this seemed very YA. Somehow it came across as more juvenile than usual.

vi and jack were two wonderful main characters and i’m glad we got dual povs. i feel like books are better with more than one pov.
i’m so glad vi went through a character transformation because she was…insufferable. i know that she was suppose to be insufferable in order to make her transformation more satisfying so i was content and excited for the ride. as the story progressed, i realized why she acted the way she did. i won’t say why, for spoiler reasons, but i’ll just say it’s a relatable.
jack and his love for football was so fun to read about. growing up in an area where college/highschool football is a big deal, i knew some things about the sport and am glad that i did or else i don’t know if i would have enjoyed the story as much. i love how jack wasn’t judging other people for loving online games, like stereotypical football players are in books, but curious and interested in them.
i honestly want to see more from these characters and see how their futures go!
i recommend this book for people who love ya, football, online games, and who love to see enemies to lovers. this was an enemies to lovers i liked, and i don’t like that trope!

I admit that, for the first half of the book, I had a hard time empathizing with the protagonists (who are alternately irascible, self-centered, lonely, and struggling).
But then I remembered: they're high schoolers. I was like that. We were all like that. And sometimes, we still are. And these kids deserve some grace from the readers.
All this is to say: I genuinely enjoyed this book. Alexene Farol Follmuth spins a very genuine tale, with just the right amounts of Shakespearean frivolity and teenage truth. I would absolutely play Twelfth Knight (the in-world game) or it might come up in my next ttrpg campaign!

Much better than the first of her YA books. The first was still good. This was very good, 4 stars
