INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • When it comes to romance, sometimes it doesn't hurt to play games. A fun YA romcom full of fake dating hijinks!
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. . . .

"Very cute book set in high school. Involves fake dating and goes as far as kissing. Really fun read!"
— Kait (5/5)
Not just for teens
"I purchased this book as a father who wanted to share his love of Table Top Role Playing games with his teenage daughter. I figured if it was a romance novel with a hint of TTRPG, then maybe she would be interested. My daughter never read the book but I did out of a refusal to waste literature. I have to say I was very mildly surprised. I LOVED it! It was just a fun read all together. Now that I've finished it, I suspect I will be in a better position to argue why my daughter should read it. The book moves quickly never slowing down. It's one of those ""just one more chapter"" books. The characters are relatable and lovable. I highly recommend it!"
— Wayne W. (5/5)
