Loved this cute, lighthearted romance centering video games and hidden identity romance!

The chemistry seemed to be slow going at first, but the context of each person falling for a different version of each other in an understandably confusing two person love triangle makes it almost necessary to the plot.

The hidden identity really added to the drama and plot without being too gimmicky. I loved seeing why the two main characters fell for the different sides of each other, but ultimately came to the conclusion that even if one version is a persona, even that has a bit of truth in who you really are.

I personally enjoy video games (albeit cozier ones), but I think this book is easily accessible to even those who hardly know virtually nothing while still not holding your hand through it for more experienced gamers. The game has minor violence in it being that part of the story takes place in a video game world, but it is not gorey in any way that should deter most people.

Overall enjoyed this book, but I wish we could have seen more development through the character’s personal flaws, especially Jake’s. This book was such a fun and easy read, I recommend to pick it up if you enjoy hidden identity, video games, small businesses, and Sri Lankan representation!
