The No-Girlfriend Rule by Christen Randall
5.0
As a queer fat neurodivergent Kentucky girl who loves ttrpg and fell in love with a woman of color who has always made things make infinitely more sense than I think they should and never stops looking out for me, I am the exact key target audience for this book. Which is probably why it's a five star read.
My ONE bone to pick is that we don't get to know very much about Aini, her life, her family, and Her - but that makes sense since the story is focused on Hollis. Still fucking fantastic.

Very cute, but didn't grab me very quickly and wasn't my vibe. Seems like it'd be good for others tho!

Outstanding. Somehow even better than her debut when I truly thought it was impossible to top.
