Two Can Play, by Ali Hazelwood (2024)

Premise: Video-game designer Viola is conflicted when she gets the chance to create a game based on her favourite novel series, on the condition that her company collaborate with its archrival, whose proposal is being led by a man who wants nothing to do with her (and who also happens to be her longstanding crush).
Cont.

For being such a quick listen, this is a satisfying, spicy trademark Ali Hazelwood romance, perfect for sidestepping a book hangover from LOVING Deep End! I really enjoyed the setting—rival video game developer firms at a forced retreat to test if they can handle a meaningful and compelling installment of a beloved game. Fantastic!

Short, light, and fun. A quick listen that was perfect for a road trip by myself.

Humble brag? 😂🥳

I couldn't get through the technical jargon in the book. Got halfway through and had to stop.

What a well crafted, insightful middle grade book! Will is a 7th grader who‘s been having unexplained digestive and energy problems. Right at the start of the book he‘s diagnosed with Crohn‘s disease. He and his family navigate the medical and social aspects of it as Will thinks critically about what he learns in church about his developing feelings for boys. It‘s just a really nuanced book that I will totally carry in my store! Highly recommend!
