A COSMOPOLITAN BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOK OF THE YEAR

No one loves musicals more than Riley Morris—her dream is to be a Broadway director. But when the spring show is canceled, Riley has to figure out a way to bring it back. Easier said than done—she’s stuck working at her dad’s game store. The place that means more to him than his family does.

Riley can't waste time at a dead-end job when her entire future is resting on making a name for herself. So she convinces her co-worker Nathan Wheeler—the floppy-haired, glasses-wearing guy she barely knows from school—to help her. In exchange, she’ll help him make his gamer-girl crush jealous. Plus it won’t hurt to show her egotistical ex, Paul, just what he’s missing without her.

Soon Riley and Nathan are “a couple,” and people seem to believe it. But selling the ruse means joining Nathan’s role-playing game. To Riley’s surprise, the game is almost fun. And even more surprising, flirting with Nathan doesn’t require as much acting as she thought it would. . . .

Nerdy Cuteness!

I loved this story it’s so fun and cute! I loved all the nerdy references and musical quotes! It’s a nerdy love story and I’m here for it!

Bahhh!!

So cute! I laughed, I cried, I loved the characters sooooo much! They were well developed and as a DnD player and theatre enthusiast I was overjoyed at the connections made!

too cute

I enjoyed the level of effort the voice actor put in. it was very cute and enjoyable. everything you want out of a ya romance novel.

Such a cute story and fun get away!

I loved this book. It was such a joy to read such an innocent and fun story. The characters were so fun and the plot was overall very simple but I truly had a lovely time reading it. Finished it in two days! Definitely interested in reading more from this author. If you want a fun, light read…that reminds you of simpler times, then purchase this and enjoy the ride.

Cute teen romance!

I have read a lot of clean romance in my time and this is easily one of my favorites. It's a story that has been told a million times (pretending to be in love and then falling in love) but I still likes this take on it. The characters are really fun. I enjoyed that it was a bit of a coming of age book along with the romance.
