Who We Are In Real Life by Victoria Koops
In "Who We Are In Real Life," Darcy finds herself in the small town of Unity Creek after moving with her two moms. Struggling with the transition from city life, she misses her friends and boyfriend, and is disheartened by the prejudice her family encounters. Her world takes a turn when she meets Art, a reserved classmate who invites her to join his Dungeons & Dragons group. Art, who usually prefers staying unnoticed at school, finds his life changing in unexpected ways after meeting Darcy. Their friendship grows as they navigate challenges both in their real lives and within their D&D campaign. As they bond over their shared love for the game, they also face real-world issues, including standing up against Art's father's conservative views and supporting the formation of a queer-straight alliance at school. In their D&D world, their characters unite to battle corruption, mirroring their efforts to bring about change in their own lives. The story beautifully intertwines the fantasy of their game with the realities they face, highlighting themes of friendship, courage, and acceptance.
