Musical lover Riley has big aspirations to become a director on Broadway. Crucial to this plan is to bring back her high school’s spring musical, but when Riley takes her mom’s car without permission, she’s grounded and stuck with the worst punishment: spending her after-school hours working at her dad’s game shop. Riley can’t waste her time working when she has a musical to save, so she convinces Nathan—a nerdy teen employee—to cover her shifts and, in exchange, she’ll flirt with him to make his gamer-girl crush jealous. But Riley didn’t realize that meant joining Nathan’s Dungeons & Dragons game…or that role playing would be so fun. Soon, Riley starts to think that flirting with Nathan doesn’t require as much acting as she would’ve thought.

I gotta admit that I didn’t have a lot of expectations of this book because I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book before reading this one. But after reading this book I gotta admit that it isn’t half bad.

The plot of this book is very cute and sweat which made me like this book a little bit. But at the same time the plot of this book is very generic YA plot. 

There was a huge thing that annoyed me a lot in this book. Which is that main character in this book is a teenager girl who is obsessed with with musicals and theater plays. So she and her friend steals her mom’s car and drives to the neighboring state to watch some theater play while she didn’t have a driving license. And when her parents learn about their daughter without a license stealing their car with a friend only gives their daughter 7 weeks of her needing to work for free in her dad’s board games store.

This aspect of this book made me think that me think that that the author of this book had no idea how serious it is when a teenager without a car license stealing a car really is.

But other than that I gotta admit that this book is kinda cute and fun to read. Even thou it is very generic to the YA book category. I gotta admit that this book hasn’t worked on me beside being a quick book to read because of how simple and easy going it was.

The characters in this book are all over the place in this book. I found Nathan being a very good character but Riley on hand was very annoying for me personally because her entire personality was about theater and being overall a rich kid who done what she wanted. And for characters and people like Riley all I have is pure hate because I find them to be very very annoying.

While reading this book I gotta admit that I had few moments where I wanted to DNF this book just because of how annoying I found Riley to be. But I pushed through it and I am kinda happy that I have finished this book. 

This book had a lot of potential to be a very good book if Riley wasn’t so annoying a acting all the time as a spoiled rich kid who was just playing on my nervous all the time I was reading this book. Which makes it safe for me to say that I wasn’t a fan of Riley even thou I loved the rest of the characters in this book.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
