Book description
Forget solo mode-this audiobook's got two players in the best way possible. Tara Tai's Single Player isn't about gaming alone; it's about two wildly mismatched video game creators who'd rather battle than bond... until the plot forces them into a love story they didn't sign up for. Cat Li lives for romance (in games, not real life), so landing her dream job crafting love stories for Compass Hollow feels like winning the jackpot. Then she meets Andi Zhang, her boss: a fiercely anti-romance, doxxed-by-internet-trolls, "serious gamedev" who'd rather code than cuddle. Andi's motto? "Zero lovey-dovey stuff. Ever." But when the game's investor demands "romance for female gamers," Andi's forced to tolerate Cat's idealism-and her surprisingly cute smile. Cue the most deliciously awkward workplace tension since "I'll be your partner in crime" became a line in The Office.
The genius here? Tai turns gaming jargon into pure, relatable comedy. Andi's all "Happily-ever-afters? More like happily-ever-awkward." Cat's the kind of person who sends love letters to her favorite NPCs. Their banter crackles like a perfectly balanced game update-sassy, smart, and impossible not to root for. The audiobook? Absolute perfection. The narrator nails Andi's dry, exasperated energy ("Ugh, romance?") and Cat's bubbly enthusiasm without tipping into caricature. You can hear the eye-rolls and the blushes.
But it's not just fluff. Tai weaves in real stakes: Andi's trauma from online harassment (that "doxxed" detail? Gut-wrenching but handled with grace), Cat's quiet hunger for a love story that feels real, and a behind-the-scenes plot that threatens to end Andi's career. The tension? Thick as a AAA game's loading screen. You'll be screaming at the headphones, "JUST KISS ALREADY!" as they navigate "forced proximity" (like, forced to collaborate on a love scene that makes Andi want to scream into a pillow).
And the ending? Chef's kiss. It's not about choosing between "single-player life" and love-it's about realizing your favorite game might need a co-op mode all along. Single Player is that rare debut: hilarious, heartwarming, and packed with the kind of queer joy that makes you want to replay the whole thing. Perfect for when you need a story that's as addictive as your favorite game-but way more satisfying to finish. Trust me: you'll be shouting "GAME OVER" with a smile.
