I absolutely love this book! 
It’s as fun and as adorable as the previous book, Dungeons and Drama! 
While it’s the 2nd book in the series, you can read this one without reading the 1st book since it features a different couple. 
 
I have no idea how to play D&D at all and I think the author did a very good job in explaining how the game works in detail, including how to play the game, the process of creating characters, and the importance of good team chemistry to play well. 
I’m also amazed by how Quinn and her friends skillfully and passionately play their roles in the campaign. It all sounds like so much fun! 
 
The slow-burn, forbidden romance between Logan and Quinn is delightful to see! 
Logan is a total sweetheart and very charming which made it so hard for Quinn to resist him. 
He’s a very smooth-talker —I haven't found any teenager who could confess their feelings as well as Logan did. 
 
Beyond the sweet romance, I adore Quinn’s family dynamic, especially her relationship with her grandma, which brings up sweet memories of my own too. 
Quinn and her brother, Andrew’s sibling relationship isn’t perfect, making it more relatable, I really like seeing them slowly mend their relationship throughout the story. 
 
Overall, this was such a fun and sweet YA romance that also brought up important themes such as friendship and adapting to big changes. 
I can’t stop smiling and laughing while I was reading this book, Dating and Dragons is definitely going into my top favorite books in 2025! 
 
Thank you to TBR and Beyond Tour, Netgalley, author and publisher for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
