Title: Twelfth Knight
Author: Alexene Farol Follmuth
Viola Reyes is annoyed.
Her painstakingly crafted tabletop game campaign was shot down, her best friend is suggesting she try being more “likable,” and school running back Jack Orsino is the most lackadaisical Student Body President she’s ever seen, which makes her job as VP that much harder. Vi’s favorite escape from the world is the MMORPG Twelfth Knight, but online spaces aren’t exactly kind to girls like her―girls who are extremely competent and have the swagger to prove it. So Vi creates a masculine alter ego, choosing to play as a knight named Cesario to create a safe haven for herself.
But when a football injury leads Jack Orsino to the world of Twelfth Knight, Vi is alarmed to discover their online alter egos―Cesario and Duke Orsino―are surprisingly well-matched.
As the long nights of game-play turn into discussions about life and love, Vi and Jack soon realise they’ve become more than just weapon-wielding characters in an online game. But Vi has been concealing her true identity from Jack, and Jack might just be falling for her offline…

Jack gets injured playing football and then his gf dumps him so he’s not having the best time! He’s also bored so his friend gets him into a role playing game called Twelfth Knight.
A player he teams up with is actually his arch nemesis, Viola, but he thinks it’s Viola’s brother he’s playing with…..and it all goes from there!
I would say this book is perfect apart from Viola. She got on my nerves with her attitude but then I realised she is actually more like me than I care to admit!!
A few bits I need to mention:
~ Jack is AMAZING!
~ That injury was brutal, I hope karma gets that boy
~ I love the gaming element
~ Grumpy sunshine reversed
~ THE best side characters, Bash and Olivia
This was a great read (the audio was fab too!) And would defo recommend it!
