Who We Are in Real Life by Victoria Koops
2.75
dark hopeful informative fast-paced

⭐️⭐️.75

Positives:
- loved the dnd vibes and all of the nerdy little references to critical role, dragon age etc were all really fun!
- dealt with some really real and raw topics like homophobia, abusive relationships etc and had some really good & important conversations throughout.

Negatives:
- did not care for Art or Darcy, sorry tbh I found them boring & found the romance quite cringe and rushed
- fuck James but also fuck cheating and I didn’t love the way that dynamic was flushed out in here

This was a pretty solid 4-3ish⭐️ read in the first half & it quite fun. However, how rushed the romance felt and how icky the cheating and lack of communication felt reaaaaalllyyy took me out of it.
