Status Updates From Single Player

I wasn't sure I could handle the overabundance of awkwardness on both sides, but now I'm totally into it

Welp. This is a dnf for me. I couldn't get past Cat's insecurities or Andi's hangups about her career. I knew this would be a hard sell as a Rivalmance, and it just isn't working for me.

okayyyyyyy. Cat is maybe a little too ridiculous. At this point I'm starting to feel bad for Sally, who Cat would probably actually like if she'd just give her an authentic answer to... literally any personal question.

Okay, there's a lot I like here, but this idea that the C-Suite douchebro is insisting on Romance plots for their game to "appeal to female gamers" is by far the most unbelievable thing I've read in a long time.

As if anyone at EA gives two shits about female gamers 😂😂😂

Ok... Cat's unwillingness to just be herself is only making matters worse. I'm trusting that this is the point and will get resolved over the course of the book, but still... why would you order a drink you don't like to seem cool to a blind date?

Andi, meanwhile, continues to be a delight. A jerk, but a delightful one.

Look, I was already intrigued just from the concept. But then the author opened with a made up and hilarious quote about two beloved Dragon Age characters.

5 Stars. No notes.
