Such a fun adventure about gaining self-confidence and learning about yourself through TTRPGs!

Hollis wants to play Secrets & Sorcery with her boyfriend Chris, but his group's Secret Keeper has a No-Girlfriend rule. So Hollis tries to prove she can play by joining an all-girls group. Along the way, she finds maybe she can be more than who she thought she was. She can be fat girl with anxiety and still be confident. When an in-game crush develops between Hollis and Aini, Hollis wonders if that could be real too.

As a former D&D player with anxiety, I resonated HARD with Hollis throughout so much of this book. I loved the representation in the girls, and the journey Hollis takes is so affirming. I wish there would have been some kind of divider art for time jumps in the chapters to make it less jarring. And I really wish Hollis would have had some kind of final resolution with the real life jerk. If you're a nerdy queer person who may or may not have anxiety, you will love this book.

Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review. ( )
