Description: Meri
is a shy, socially awkward twenty-something with very few friends and a passion
for video games. She works for a video game company as an assistant to a total
diva of a game designer. She performs miracles keeping him happy while also
striving toward her own dream of having her video game created. This busy
work-life on top of her gaming habit don't leave her much time for dating. Not
that she would want to seeing how her past relationship ended. Enter Morgan,
the dreamiest of delivery boys and flirting with little ol' her? Will she be
able to let down her guard and fall in love? Will she find love in her online
gaming world? Read it to find out!
In Short: This is a very sweet, funny and entertaining
romantic comedy. If you love video games this book will be of special interest
to you because it shares with you not only her real life, but her fantasy
in-game life (which is a story all its own.) The story and characters are very
special and far more complex than your standard romance novel. I recommend this
to fans of contemporary romance.
Pros: I have so
much good to say about this book. You may have been hearing me talk about it a
lot over the past month, because this was a really great book that I was really
excited about. I really get this book and it really works for me. The
characters are wonderfully developed and complex, the storyline is awesome, the
romance is beautiful, and the ending was incredible. I thought I had it the
story all figured out all along but there was a nice little surprise for me at
the end. Meri's family, as endearing as they are, are SO overbearing. If they
were my family they would drive me insane. One aspect I really enjoyed about
this book was the overlap of her real life and game life. Each chapter started
with a section in italics that described the story going on in her regular
gaming as well as the in-game personas of the people she is playing with. The
game world had its own epic story with plenty of conflict, suspense, and
possibly even a little romance. The This book is well written, enjoyable to read,
fast paced and full of action.
Cons: I have no
notable issues with this book. There were only a couple minor typos that
editing missed but nothing distracting.
Parent's Guide: Overall pretty clean book for a
romance but there is obviously some degree of sexual content, and some
language. No violence and not "erotica."
