Publisher Description

From the NAACP Image Award–nominated author of Happily Ever Afters comes a dual POV rom-com about Reggie and Delilah, who fall in love through missed connections and chance meetings on holidays over the course of a year. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han, with crossover appeal for readers of Jasmine Guillory and Talia Hibbert romances.

Delilah always keeps her messy, gooey insides hidden behind a wall of shrugs and yeah, whatevers. She goes with the flow—which is how she ends up singing in her friends’ punk band as a favor, even though she’d prefer to hide at the merch table.

Reggie is a D&D Dungeon Master and self-declared Blerd. He spends his free time leading quests and writing essays critiquing the game under a pseudonym, keeping it all under wraps from his disapproving family.

These two, who have practically nothing in common, meet for the first time on New Year’s Eve. And then again on Valentine’s Day. And then again on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s almost like the universe is pushing them together for a reason.

Delilah wishes she were more like Reggie—open about what she likes and who she is, even if it’s not cool. Except . . . it’s all a front. Reggie is just role-playing someone confident. The kind of guy who could be with a girl like Delilah.

As their holiday meetings continue, the two begin to fall for each other. But what happens once they realize they’ve each fallen for a version of the other that doesn’t really exist?

Slightly Smiling Face“This was a very sweet YA romance. You get to see both MCs really come into themselves, both individually and as a couple. The plot line of the teen punk band scene was very nostalgic for me, personally, and the D&D content was honestly so fun it made me want to be a part of that world. The holiday fate meetings were such a fun way to start the relationship between these two doubt-ridden teens, and the progression of their relationship felt very honest, and true to how your brain (read: hormones) makes you act. Overall, I really enjoyed the read.”

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“I just absolutely fell in love with this book! I’ve had it sitting on my bookshelf for like a year or two now, and the last two weeks I would just glance at it and linger. Something was just telling me that I needed to read it and it was perfect for the present! I really enjoyed how in depth Bryant got with the character work and how fast paced the book was. I loved how the story was paced with the holidays. So adorable. One of my favorite scenes had to have been the one scene we got of Reggie being a DM. I loved seeing their D&D campaign and how his friends interacted with him. As someone that watches videos of D&D campaigns sometimes for fun…that was an awesome scene! By the halfway point I was ROOTING for Reggie and Delilah. I wanted them together so bad. They were both so cute together and I adored the way they admired each other—when it wasn’t about how perfect the other one was. (Iykyk) I felt so satisfied when they got together and I enjoyed how they both grew up and matured after having to deal with the consequences of their mistakes. Oh! And I wasn’t expecting so much about punk rock bands and I LOVED IT. Awesome read!! Amazing YA!!”
