Thank you to Hachette and Running Press Kids for the advanced copy of "Roll for Love". 

This book was sweet, fun, cozy, and warm. A love letter to rural queer kids, it shows that being yourself is important no matter where you are in the world. This was not a second hand romance like the synopsis on Goodreads implies. It is more of a friends to lovers situation. Our main character, Harper, used to spend her summers in Clintville with her grandparents, but after her parents get divorced they no longer make the trip in the summers. Fast forward 6 years later, Harper's grandparents have both passed and she is being made to move by her mother in her senior year of high school. The book is quite short and fast paced. I really like how the D&D story was integrated into the main plot and storyline. It didn't feel too overbearing and gave me just enough to always leave me wanting more. But I also cared about both stories, the real world and the D&D world. It was a very harmonious balance. I think the only downsides to this book were that the writing felt a bit more middle grade than young adult for such old characters, and the two female leads voice's were a little bit one note. They blended together for me at times. Otherwise, great story, quick read, and important message to queer kids growing up everywhere, especially the rural south.
