From the NAACP Image Award–nominated author of Happily Ever Afters comes a dual POV rom-com about Reggie and Delilah, who fall in love through missed connections and chance meetings on holidays over the course of a year. Delilah always keeps her messy, gooey insides hidden behind a wall of shrugs and yeah, whatevers. She goes with the flow—which is how she ends up singing in her friends’ punk band as a favor, even though she’d prefer to hide at the merch table. Reggie is a D&D Dungeon Master and self-declared Blerd. He spends his free time leading quests and writing essays critiquing the game under a pseudonym, keeping it all under wraps from his disapproving family. These two, who have practically nothing in common, meet for the first time on New Year’s Eve. And then again on Valentine’s Day. And then again on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s almost like the universe is pushing them together for a reason. Delilah wishes she were more like Reggie—open about what she likes and who she is, even if it’s not cool. Except . . . it’s all a front. Reggie is just role-playing someone confident. The kind of guy who could be with a girl like Delilah. As their holiday meetings continue, the two begin to fall for each other. But what happens once they realize they’ve each fallen for a version of the other that doesn’t really exist?

"3.75. - Friends to lovers ya about a dungeons and dragons nerd and musician who meet every holiday over the course of a year and fall in love.
- Enjoyed it but there was something annoying about Reggie’s character, he wanted to portray himself to be a certain way in order for Delilah to like him and ends up coming up with the stupidest lie. I didn’t have a problem with Delilah and her motivations; she had a pretty interesting arc.
- Liked the multimedia aspect, there were text messages
- So happy lyrics weren’t in here, would’ve thrown the book."

"As a 24-year-old woman, I find it awkward to read books for young adults, just like when I was a teenager I was hesitant to read books for adults. However, this book was really cute and I could totally see it becoming a Netflix movie or something similar. The main characters definitely had romantic soulmate chemistry! I really enjoyed this beautiful love story!! Thank you to the author and publisher and NetGalley for granting me this book in exchange for my feedback!<br/><br/>My blog is https://bookreviewsbyjules.blogspot.com/<br/><br/>Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/44083250-julia<br/><br/>Instagram/bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/bookreviewsbyjules/"
