This was such a good mix of cute and fun while also dealing with a lot of complex emotions! I love a good retelling and I might be biased because I love She’s the Man but Twelfth Night is one of the most fun to reimagine! The rpf gaming aspect was such an interesting way to bring in the false identity aspect of the story! Most Twelfth Night retellings have someone disguising themselves as the opposite gender physically so it was fun to see a different and more modern take on that trope through the online gaming! I also loved how Viola & Jack’s relationship progressed throughout the book! It was a perfect slow burn of annoyance to putting up with each other to enjoying spending time together to friends to more! The book had great side characters as well with Bash & Olivia & Antonia, etc and I loved seeing how those relationships with both Viola & Duke progressed as well!
