This is a second chance romance story about a queer couple reconnecting with their childhood best friends, whose characters in D&D fall in love. In real life, things are more complicated in their small Southern town, perfect for fans of Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko, Some Girls Do by Jennifer Dugan, and Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli.

Harper Reid’s summer doesn’t start off well. After her grandfather’s death, she moves across the country, leaving behind her friends and the Dungeons & Dragons group. She hadn’t exactly planned to start her school year on the farm where she spent her childhood summers, but meeting Ollie Shifflet – former best friend and first love – makes things much better.

When Harper discovers that Ollie and her friends are starting a new D&D campaign, she quickly joins the group. As Harper and Ollie reconnect in the real world, romantic tension begins to build between Harper’s rebellious barbarian and Ollie’s proud paladin, but it’s all part of the game... right?

Ollie’s future depends on keeping her bisexuality secret, while Harper’s dreams include living an open and proud life in their rural town. As their feelings continue to grow with each gaming session, their relationship begins to threaten everything they have worked hard for. As the school year nears its end and the campaign’s final challenge approaches, Harper and Ollie must decide: are their feelings more than just fantasy?
