This is a fairly cute read and I enjoyed the pictures that were included in the book. The pacing is decent and I never felt like it was dragging on. The Gamer Grandpa was a good setup. That being said, this book suffered from a few issues. 1. Everything just feels...too convenient. That's not me knocking on how romance novels work in general. 2. Since the shop owners they were stopping to visit were at least somewhat known quantities, the percentage of them being jerks felt higher than it should have been.
For you if:
If you enjoy romance and d0n't mind mid-range sexual content. It never felt X-rated to me.
Like roadtrip stories
Enjoy characters being immersed in nerd world/ courting through card games.
Found family/ family supporting each other
Youtubers/ influencers
Queer representation
Not for you:
If you dislike melodrama
If you want everything to be realistic
If homophobia being in the book somewhere is a problem for you.
If you are anxious about paying for college/ what to do after college and don't want more anxiety in your reading.
