Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Teen for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts

Honestly, I'm so embarrassed that I own multiple Alexene Farol Follmuth (Olivie Blake) books and the first one I decided to pick up was this ARC, because if this is any indication for how much I'm going to love the other books... there's a big storm coming!!! 

Twelfth Knight is all the best parts of 90s and 00s high school romcoms in one hilariously, witty book-sized package. Vi and Jack are such great characters to write as quasi-academic rivals to lovers/hate to love because they are so set in their ways in the beginning that you can't possibly imagine it working out in the end. But AFF did the thing. 

Every single beat of this story worked. I couldn't stop turning pages. I finished this book and immediately wanted to start my own D&D adventure. It was a fun, funky, and fresh YA romance that is perfect for anyone looking for a book with 90s romcom vibes.
