I received an advanced listening copy of the audiobook for review. This is my own opinion.

Cat and Andi are workplace annoyances to lovers. Cat’s trouble with dating IRL makes her want to write more romance in games—defined paths and playing a character just make sense. Andi is the complete opposite, especially after being doxxed and subsequently dumped.

What I find interesting is the way the traumas of these two characters (Cat by her family’s constant comparisons/belittling and Andi by her boss/the doxxing) are presented. Neither really addresses those things but leaves them as more of a constant undercurrent, the background art if you will, for the way they move through their lives.

Full of game references (that I as a baby gamer only partially understood) Single Player is entertaining and still accessible for those of us who don't speak the lingo. I definitely recommend this to my gamer nerds and sapphic romance readers alike.

Also, Natalie Naudus is a gem.

Thanks to Netgalley and Dreamscape for the ALC!

Thank you Netgalley and dreamscape media for the free ALC. My opinions are being left voluntarily. I loved this. Felt fresh and unique.i read alot of queer books and pretty sure this is one of few 2 Asian queer folk. I loved the fake dating, boss employee. It took awhile for the steam but definitely had me sweating.

4.5/5☆

Sapphic gamers - literally say less! This was so freaking cute. I really can’t think of anything I’d want to see change in this story. I’m so excited to see what the author does next because this debut is ah-mazing!

This was a really fun dual POV Sapphic grumpy x sunshine coworker romance debut that sees two women videogame designers forced to work together to come up with some new romantic storylines. Amazing on audio narrated by my very fav, Natalie Naudus, this had great women in STEM rep, lots of D&D gameplay, a cast of diverse, queer characters and the perfect amount of spice. Perfect for fans of authors like Cathy Yardley or Jeevani Charika. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio and digital copy in exchange for my honest review!
