By Shameez Patel

Book Overview

A woman realizes she's been secretly romancing her boss in an online game in this charming, geeky romcom that's perfect for fans of Olivia Dade.

"Delightfully nerdy, hugely charming, and a definite must-read." ―Hannah Bonam-Young, New York Times bestselling author of Next of Kin

Elizabeth Gordon-Bettencourt is rebuilding her life on her own terms, starting with a new internship, a shot at her dream job as a civil engineer, and a whole lot of distance from her family's drama. With her life full of change, the one constant is @theanswerisno, a charming gamer who seems to just ... get her. Even if he has no interest in meeting her in real life.

Elizabeth would feel a lot more confident about her job if her new boss wasn't so hard to read. Lincoln Carden is quiet, demanding, and adamant about avoiding small talk--especially in the office. What she doesn't know is that online, he's someone else entirely: quick, confident, and a little bit flirty. And his favorite player to team up with is @pancakesareelite, the one person who never makes him feel like he has to try too hard.

As their two worlds start to collide, Elizabeth and Lincoln start to wonder: with their careers on the line and their online friendship at risk, is a romance IRL worth it?

"Fresh and funny and filled with incredible chemistry. An inventive twist on a workplace romance, with hidden identities and a perfect slow-burn. I absolutely loved this read " ―Naina Kumar, USA Today bestselling author of Flirting with Disaster
