Hollis is entering her senior year of high school, and after 6 years of being left out of her boyfriend’s Secrets and Sorcery role-playing game nights due to their “No-Girlfriend Rule”, she decides to join her own Secrets and Sorcery group to prove she’s worth having at her boyfriend’s game table. Her new group, which is an all-girl group, quickly becomes a refuge for Hollis to explore what makes her feel powerful and seen for who she is. As Hollis grows closer with the girls in the group, she’s forced to reckon with feelings for one of them while coming to terms with what has been holding her back from feeling confident in herself.
This book was a pleasant coming-of-age read that accurately depicted what it’s like to live with severe anxiety. As Hollis establishes her new friend group, we get to see what it means for friends to truly look out for one another and accept each other for exactly who they are. Overall, this was a feel-good, light-hearted queer romance that I would recommend to any teen who enjoys nerding out over board games.
