June lives the glamorous lifestyle of a mid-level Dungeons and Dragons influencer: broke in her parents' basement. Although June's internet-famous avatar has her life together, June is a people-pleasing mess on the inside. When she needs a D&D group for a lucrative opportunity, her celebrity group disinvites her, and she has to lean on her old friends.
But Nova, June’s former BFF, gives her the cold shoulder while flirting with her character during their game sessions. June is determined to figure out why. Turns out getting closer to Nova is awakening new, confusing feelings in June, feelings she tried to ignore years ago and can't anymore.
Hey, all you Tri-Hards out there! It's been some time. Today, we're going to be talking about Di-Curious, a new nerdy romance novel by Erin Branch.
While I will do my best to keep this review spoiler free, there may be spoilers from here out. You've been warned.
I was able to get an advance reader copy of Di-Curious from the author. While I had no real idea what to expect going into the book, the Dungeons & Dragons related romance definitively piqued my interest.
The book started off with some initial backstory, laying out the groundwork for some interesting conflict. After that, well, the story very quickly turns into a can't-put-down love story. There's drama. There's romance. There's a fun D&D campaign in the background driving the story forward. And at the center of it all is June and Nova and their burgeoning romance.
And with all the success of a Nat 20 Charisma Check, that romance blossoms into something absolutely beautiful. It's a feel good love story, with no shortage of some intense steamy scenes to spice it all up. Of course, with one of the characters being a bard, what do you really expect?
If you'd like to pick up a copy of the book for yourself, the author has it listed for purchase in digital and paperback here.
