About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Don't Hate the Player by Alexis Nedd, read by Aaron Landon and Stacy Gonzalez.

"Refreshingly voice-y, wildly smart, and genuinely hilarious." – Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue

From an exciting new voice comes a funny and heartfelt YA romance set in the world of competitive gaming, perfect for fans of Opposite of Always and Slay.

Emilia Romero is living a double life. By day, she’s a field hockey star with a flawless report card. But by night, she’s kicking virtual ass as the only female member of a highly competitive eSports team. Emilia has mastered the art of keeping her two worlds thriving, which hinges on them staying completely separate. That's in part to keep her real-life persona, but also for her own safety, since girl gamers are often threatened and harassed.

When a major eSports tournament comes to her city, Emilia is determined to prove herself to her team and the male-dominated gaming community. But her perfectly balanced life is thrown for a loop when a member of a rival team recognizes her . . .

Jake Hooper has had a crush on Emilia since he was ten years old. When his underdog eSports team makes it into the tournament, he's floored to discover she's been leading a double life. The fates bring Jake and Emilia together as they work to keep her secret, even as the pressures of the tournament and their non-gaming world threaten to pull everything apart.

Debut author Alexis Nedd has crafted a YA combo-punch of charming romance and virtual adventure that will win the hearts of gamers and non-gamers alike.©2021 Alexis Nedd (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Contemporary Depression & Mental Health Difficult Situations Emotions & Feelings Literature & Fiction Multicultural Romance

The story is a fresh take on Young Adult romances as we have it centered around e-sports, that too with a female protagonist. The characters are simple and direct in their choices and follow patterns that we could totally see our friends in high school do. It brings out the nuances and depths of the gaming community, and is very realistic in its portrayal. The games are also very well written, with just enough details to disclose the overall course of actions with a bit of strategy. This Story delivers a lot of good messages both directly and indirectly to the audience. All characters have their flaws and are resolved well in the story.

A very good read in the nerdy boy/cool girl type of story. Dear author, You have done a brilliant job of creating a awesome female protagonist, a very sweet male lead and awesome characters in general. I really look forward to more releases from you.

Simple, Realistic and Heartwarming Story
