Single Player made my queer gamer/writer heart so happy!
Cat is starting a new job writing romance for an upcoming video game, but her first run-in with her boss Andi leaves an impression on them and not necessarily a great one.
Normally, I am not a fan of boss x employee romance, but there was so much I loved about this book. Cat is a people pleasing plus-sized gamer with something to prove to her family about her love life and profession. Andi is nonbinary, traumatized, and super talented. This book balances plot and character growth pretty well, especially for a debut, and even more so given how messy these Sapphics are. Oh, and there's D&D in it!
I can't wait to see what else comes from Tara Tai!
Spice: 🌶🌶
