Reading this felt like watching She’s the Man but through a nerdier filter. The early 2000’s Shakespeare retelling movie vibes are strong. Overall it was a little predictable but I like that about the book. There was also enough originality in the FMC that I really enjoyed. I think Viola is someone I would have wanted to be friends with in high school but I would have been to scared to actually approach her. In a way it was reminiscent of being back in high school, where is everyone is just trying to be someone they’re not. I also like the exploration of gender roles in the gaming/RPG world, it’s not something I’ve experienced myself in my little experience with DnD but it was a good intro. I really felt for her when when those situations came up. Overall, It’s a light fun read that I think most people would enjoy.
