Description
Cathy Yardley's "Role Playing" is an emotional romantic comedy about two middle-aged gamers who form an online connection that blossoms into a real-life love story. When Maggie, a forty-eight-year-old hermit, joins a new gaming guild to become more social for her son, she meets Otter, the friendly healer who becomes her virtual friend. As they grow closer in their online interactions, Maggie and Otter develop an unlikely friendship, unaware of each other's true identities - Maggie thinks Otter is a college student, while Otter assumes Maggie is an octogenarian. When they finally meet face to face, their contrasting personalities lead to a rocky start, but they tentatively grow closer. Their past relationships have left them bitter, and both have complicated histories that make it harder for them to navigate real-life emotions. Can they overcome their differences and make their online connection work in the real world?
