This was so freaking cute! As someone who did musical theatre in high school and was the student director, and someone who enjoys playing D&D, this book connected with me! I love these characters and how distinct they were, yet they were very believable as high schoolers. I enjoyed the chemistry and also the drama with the other exes/love interests. This book felt a little young and the miscommunication (especially with Rylie and her dad) was a little tiring. But I adored everything else about this book!

This was actually so adorable that I can’t even! I loved basically everything about it - the geekiness, the fake dating trope, the chemistry between the main characters, the wonderful side cast. You definitely cannot go wrong with a glasses-wearing, DND playing nerdy MMC. Occasionally the FMC gave me “not like the other girls” vibes, but beyond that I can’t fault it. I do agree the FMC’s dad got a rough go in this book and that the mum wasn’t very nice to him. This has been one of my favourite reads recently and I hope the author writes more in this universe.
