Roll for Love by M.K. England
4.5
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The good:
- Harper's backstory and her struggles with wanting to stay in her town while also wanting to be herself I think is one that a lot of people can relate to and was done very well.
- Ollie's backstory with her mother and wanting to choose a path outside of college I found a refreshing conversation that should be more and more common now-a-days.
- Harper and Ollie coming together after years' apart was extremely cute and I like the progression of their relationship.
- The D&D group was absolutely fantastic and added an additional element to the story that I really enjoyed (please note I don't play D&D so I don't know how accurate the game play is, but it was really fun!)

The loss of a star:
- My only issue was with the D&D, since we don't see all the sessions, I felt like it was a big disjointed and I was confused at points, being pulled out of the story. HOWEVER, I still loved how infused D&D was, it was like a fun bonus story!

Overall, if you're looking for a cute D&D infused WLW YA Romance, this is definitely your next read (very niche, but very enjoyable).
