Synopsis
Julie Murphy meets Casey McQuiston in this unforgettable queer romance about a teen girl whose foray into fantasy tabletop roleplaying brings her new confidence, true friends, and a shot at real, swoon-worthy love.Hollis Beckwith isn&’t trying to get a girl—she&’s just trying to get by. For a fat, broke girl with anxiety, the start of senior year brings enough to worry about. And besides, she already has a boyfriend: Chris. Their relationship isn&’t particularly exciting, but it&’s comfortable and familiar, and Hollis wants it to survive beyond senior year. To prove she&’s a girlfriend worth keeping, Hollis decides to learn Chris&’s favorite tabletop roleplaying game, Secrets & Sorcery—but his unfortunate &“No Girlfriends at the Table&” rule means she&’ll need to find her own group if she wants in. Enter: Gloria Castañeda and her all-girls game of S&S! Crowded at the table in Gloria&’s cozy Ohio apartment, the six girls battle twisted magic in-game and become fast friends outside it. With her character as armor, Hollis starts to believe that maybe she can be more than just fat, anxious, and a little lost. But then an in-game crush develops between Hollis&’s character and the bard played by charismatic Aini Amin-Shaw, whose wide, cocky grin makes Hollis&’s stomach flutter. As their gentle flirting sparks into something deeper, Hollis is no longer sure what she wants…or if she&’s content to just play pretend.
