First off, Reggie is THAT girl, ok? I love seeing Black nerdy women thrive. She didn’t let people’s preconceived notions about her get in the way of her goals and I, for one, stan.
Next, Reggie and Gus had amazing chemistry that just jumps off the page and I was happy to see that there was an established relationship beforehand so it didn’t seem too insta-lovey. Gus was also supportive, respected Reggie’s boundaries, and didn’t feel the need to “fix her,” like in Reggie’s previous relationships.
Overall, this was a short delight to read! I do wish that we got at least 50-75 more pages, because the last 20% seemed rushed and wrapped up too neatly. I needed something more from it. Plus, there’s sooooo much to explore with these two that we could hoenstly get a full stand-alone novel 🥲
Like me, if you haven’t read the Reluctant Royals series before jumping into this one, this novella can technically stand on it’s own. However, this would be best enjoyed if you read the first two books since it references other characters and storylines.

This was so soft and nerdy! I just wish it was a bit longer because I wanted to spend more time with the characters and explore the escape room concept a bit more.
