For a fat, broke girl with anxiety, the start of senior year brings enough to worry about. And besides, she already has a Chris. Their relationship isn\u2019t particularly exciting, but it\u2019s comfortable and familiar, and Hollis wants it to survive beyond senior year. To prove she\u2019s a girlfriend worth keeping, Hollis decides to learn Chris\u2019s favorite tabletop roleplaying game, Secrets & Sorcery\u2014but his unfortunate \u201cNo Girlfriends at the Table\u201d rule means she\u2019ll need to find her own group if she wants in.\r\n\r\nGloria Casta\u00f1eda and her all-girls game of S&S! Crowded at the table in Gloria\u2019s cozy Ohio apartment, the six girls battle twisted magic in-game and become fast friends outside it. With her character as armor, Hollis starts to believe that maybe she can be more than just fat, anxious, and a little lost.\r\n\r\nBut then an in-game crush develops between Hollis\u2019s character and the bard played by charismatic Aini Amin-Shaw, whose wide, cocky grin makes Hollis\u2019s stomach flutter. As their gentle flirting sparks into something deeper, Hollis is no longer sure what she wants\u2026or if she\u2019s content to just play pretend."}, "subject_people": ["Hollis Beckwith", "Gloria Casta\u00f1eda", "Aini Amin-Shaw"], "latest_revision": 2, "revision": 2, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-01-31T01:22:25.907829"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-10-05T16:03:48.888680"}}
