Booklist - 05/01/2024 Jack “Duke” Orsino is the handsome, charming, and popular star running back of the Messaline High football team. Viola (Vi) Reyes is an angry, snarky gamer girl with a million nerd T-shirts and a habit of pushing people away. But when Jack tears his ACL and his girlfriend, Olivia, mysteriously breaks up with him, he recruits Vi to uncover the real reason behind her excuses. Meanwhile, as Jack’s knee heals, he dives into the online world of Twelfth Knight, a fantasy MMORPG where he meets and befriends Cesario, a seasoned player who guides Jack through the game. The only problem? Cesario is secretly Vi, who uses male alter egos to avoid online hate. As the two begin to see past the other’s walls and masks, they each must decide what to share and what to hide. Chock-full of Shakespeare references and gamer culture, with nods to nerd franchises like Game of Thrones and D&D, this adorkable Twelfth Night retelling from the author of My Mechanical Romance (2022) is the stuff that rom-coms are made of. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
