I've really come to love this series for many reasons. First and foremost, I love the friend groups; whether it's The System's hilarious, chaotic nature or all the girls getting together for murder night and having a blast, I love how much they care for each other. Since the first book, you've been able to see Madison Fox's love for gaming. Every book has a word guide of different gaming slang at the beginning and all of the games feel so real. I think it's just so neat!

Fake Game really is Deer's story at the heart. She's got a whole host of things going wrong, from a hate group infiltrating her streams and someone sending her threats that become terrifyingly real, her world really is imploding. She's had a long time crush on Mr. Grump himself, Jackson, long enough that she thought it went away. He doesn't typically acknowledge her outside of streams, but when her life goes up in flames he can't stop himself from wanting to protect her. There's a ton of chemistry and want between these two opposites. Though their fake dating scheme isn't the focus, it was still a fun way to bring them together. I really liked them together especially toward the end when we got to see more of Jackson supporting her. 

Read this if you like fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, protective heroes, height differences, romantic suspense, cozy gaming, a friend groups that you want to be apart of.
