Queen B’s Decree: Now, I have never played Dungeons and Dragons personally, but I’ve attended my husband’s game in the past. Also I’m kind of a nerd, so when I saw this book I literally squealed with excitement.
Sadie is in her best friend’s new-ish small town for the summer after losing her job in NYC and gets coerced into joining a new DnD campaign her BFF is hosting. It’s there she meets Noah and immediately sparks fly, but they start out as friends.
I loved how the story is told alternating with real life and their campaign. It was like a story within a story, watching both Sadie and Noah grow feelings and their characters Jaylie and Loren do the same. I got so invested in the campaign, I felt transported into their magical world.
Ellie Gossage was a great narrator and she did such a good time differentiating between all the characters (both real life and within the campaign), I didn’t even miss a duet or dual narration.
There’s minimal angst, no third act break-up and yet I felt so deeply for some of these characters. I actually felt near tears during their campaign at times. Whimsical and fun, Roll for Romance was just a fun and enchanting time.
