Dungeons and Drama by Kristy Boyce
3.0
Very cute! Really brought me back to my high school theatre days. A bit of a baby's first fake dating trope, the characters are 15/16 in age range so on the younger side of YA romance. This book is FULL of musical theatre and TTRPG/Nerdy references, perfect for any teen who wants to get into the romance genre while staying age-appropriate.
The teen drama is REAL, but I really like how low the stakes are. It's a cute, cozy read with a fun lil romance perfect for your inner theatre kid. Riley is unashamedly herself and Nathan is a loveable snarky grump. I liked the divorced parent dynamic, it added some layers to Riley's character and I enjoyed the development of the family relationship. I wish we could have learned more about Nathan's background, but the book is pretty short so I get why not too much was said.
Wish I could have rated this higher, but I think I am a bit old for the writing style. I feel like my 15yr old self would have said this is her favorite romance though, and that says a lot. Worth a read if you need something happy, cute and loveably cringe :)
