I could not read this book fast enough; I loved it so much. A theater nerd (Riley) goes to work at her dad's game shop, starts playing D&D, and fall in love with a (rather game-nerdy) co-worker. I mean, you had me at D&D. I love how both characters passions were interweaved into the story — not just that, but all characters, even the side characters, stood out and were there own people. And the nerd-lingo! From various D&D terms to LARPing to musical theater stuff (that honestly goes over my head), there's so many terms (and the gaming terms are certainly noted, as Riley is learning these terms).

All in all, I loved this book so much, and would recommend it to either a musical theater nerd or a gaming (especially D&D) nerd (or, better yet, a combination of the two) who's looking for a lighthearted fluffy romance about two different people coming together and partaking in the other's interest.
