Why would any sane queer person leave the city and move to a small minded small town? That’s what Darcy contemplates as her moms drag her from a home she loves to a rural town where they find more opinions than sense… When she starts school, Darcy suddenly meets Art, who happens to love all of the gamer nerd things she does. Unfortunately he’s the son of a one of the most closed minded in town… small town life has more than it’s fair share of twists and turns for Darcy’s queer little family, with a domineering boyfriend from the city who complicates things further. Weaved through the story is Art and Darcy’s gaming adventures that are eerily parallel to their own storyline.

This was almost a solid 4 star read for me, but there were a few spots where continuity was a bit hard to keep track of. Also some terms used were very broadly general (Game instead of DnD or even RPG, City with no name) which I found a bit off putting. Overall, still a very fun read that explores the dynamics of who you choose to portray both inside and outside of gaming experiences.
