I freaking loved this book! Right from the get go it was so cute. The main characters, Andi and Cat, are both video game writers so they are nerdy AF and it shows in the narrative. I've never felt so at home with characters' inner monologue before. The romance was a beautiful enemies-to-lovers slow burn, with plenty of longing and self-denial and external plot factors pushing and pulling them in all directions. Despite all of the gaming similes and laugh-out-loud moments, this book was SO romantic and had me swooning many times. I absolutely adored this. The narrator was also phenomenal, bringing their voices perfectly to the forefront. 10/10 recommend!
