The way I binge read this one is unreal! It was so fun and fast-paced and unhinged and chaotic and heartwarming and hilarious and just all around wonderful!

The whole premise was incredible and sucked me right into the Las Vegas strip. Jack and his ace support group pals are just the absolute best. I loved the way they all met, their group chats, and everything about them finally hanging out in person.

Even knowing nothing about gambling / Vegas, it was so fun reading all of the scenes with gambling games and learning more. The chaos with the rival casinos and Arthurian myth was perfection.

I absolutely loved the Ace rep. The MCs are all ace, and I loved the conversations around being ace / aro / non-binary / crushes / still figuring out being ace!
