{"product_id":"single-player-9781639109937","title":"Single Player","description":"\u003cb\u003eTwo video game creators go head-to-head in this delightful, queer enemies-to-lovers workplace romance debut, perfect for fans of TJ Alexander and Helen Hoang.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCat Li cares about two things: video games and swoony romances. The former means there hasn't been much of the latter in her (real) life, but when she lands her dream job writing the love storylines for \u003ci\u003eCompass Hollow\u003c\/i\u003e--the next big thing in games--she knows it's all been worth it. Then she meets her boss: the infamous Andi Zhang, who's not only an arrogant hater of happily-ever-afters determined to keep Cat from doing her job but also impossibly, annoyingly hot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs \u003ci\u003eCompass Hollow's\u003c\/i\u003e narrative director, Andi couldn't care less about love--in-game or out. After getting doxxed by internet trolls three years ago, Andi's been trying to prove to the gaming world that they're a serious gamedev. Their plan includes writing the best game possible, with zero lovey-dovey stuff. That is, until the man funding the game's development insists Andi add romance in order to make the story \"more appealing to female gamers.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForced to give Cat a chance, Andi begrudgingly realizes there's more to Cat than romantic idealism and, okay, a cute smile. But admitting that would mean giving up the single-player life that has kept their heart safe for years. And when Cat uncovers a behind-the-scenes plot to destroy Andi's career, the two will have to put their differences aside and find a way to work together before it's game over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alcove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639109937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2024 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tara Tai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44792613896373,"sku":"9781639109937","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_59df70a9-d644-4873-8115-657e78b4357d.jpg?v=1731426805","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/single-player-9781639109937","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
