Dating and Dragons by Kristy Boyce

3.5

Another delightful and fun teen romance from Boyce! Starting at a new high school in the middle of the school year is never easy, but for Quinn it at least means she's free from both her ex-friends and their D&D group, whose implosion they're blaming entirely on her. So when Quinn stumbles upon another D&D group at her new school, and is invited to sit in on a session and maybe even join in on their next campaign, she knows she absolutely cannot mess this up. It doesn't matter how cute and nice Logan is - well, was - the group has a no inner-party romance rule and Quinn is more than happy to stick to it. Dating is just not worth the risk. 

I really enjoyed watching Quinn's journey through this novel, seeing her re-gain her confidence and find support in a group of people who are willing and eager to bring her into their world. I also have to say I loved how unapologetically YA this novel is. It's full of teenage struggles and romance, which might come across as a little dramatic at times, but when you put yourself into the shoes of a teenager, it just *works.* Filled with a charming collection of characters, a slow burn romance, and plenty of D&D, this was a lovely and heartwarming story about family and friendship. 

Thank you to Random House Children's, Delacorte Romance, and NetGalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
