My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Dungeons and Drama

❤️ loved this book because...

This book was everything??? The romance was so well done, and I found myself so invested in them. It literally made my heart hurt to read it because the absolute lining is so there.

The side plots are fantastic too, the main side plot having to do with her and her dad. I felt like it encapsulated some parental relationships really well on both sides. I was never a theater kid, but the musical preparation was fascinating to read about.

The characters are so adorable and absolutely lovable. It's a short story, but I found myself getting attached. Definitely a happy cute story that I needed.

Overall, I'm just kinda obsessed with this book in general.
