My gosh. I absolutely adored this book! It was totally swoony worthy and I just absolutely loved Riley and Nathan!
This is my first Kristy Boyce book and if her other YA books are like this, then I need them!
Riley gets in trouble and has to work at her dad's game store. She has always giving a side eye to the store as she believes the store was the reason for her parents divorce. After what turns out to be a misunderstanding meet cute, Nathan and her team up to fake date. in order to make the ones they want jealous. Riley wants to try to win her ex back and Nathan wants to get the attention of fellow gamer Sophia. What Riley was not expecting is how INTO fake dating Nathan would actual get (I was even surprised myself).
I loved the banter between Riley and Nathan and those small moments that as a teen would had me soaring. Nathan is such a cheerleader for Riley and you can tell just how head over heels he is for her. I love hearing Riley's inner monologue when they were "acting" and when her feelings were starting to develop. Anytime they were together it just made me smile and their car ride conversations just were so sweet.
"Guys don't tend to skip their favorite things unless they really like a girl."
The friendships in this group were top notch. It reminded me of the friend group in Stranger Things without all the fighting/monsters. They just had each other backs and when someone needed help, they all pitched in to help. There is a moment towards the end where this really stood out and just made my heart so happy. This is also a tale for any age to try something new because you never know what you may be missing out on!
The audio is narrated by Eva Kaminsky who embodied Riley and really brought her to life. Also her voice for Nathan was not too shabby either!
I did not do this review justice but trust me I just loved it so much!! And if you need something light, fluffy, swoony YA, with table top role playing game, and theater - read this book!
