make your move is the third book in the gamer girls series, this time the focus is on tyler and shannon. tyler has had a crush on shannon from the start, but shannon is a demisexual and doesn't feel sexual attraction without forming a deep, personal connection with her partner. this is a fact she had to explain to tyler when he misread her signals and kissed her during a friend's wedding.
things between them are awkward, though most of the awkwardness stems from shannon's insecurities about her sexuality. she finds that most people don't understand what she needs, and she despairs of finding that meaningful connection she needs in order to have a fully realized relationship.
when tyler moves in as her temporary roommate, they start spending more time together, and shannon learns more about him. including the fact that he's moved on and has a girlfriend who happens to be shannon's nemesis at work. things get messy as they do, and when tyler accompanies her on a work trip, she realizes that she does feel more from him than friendship.
but it's too late right? he's moved on. but his new girlfriend is terrible, and maybe he might still have feelings too? things get messier, and it takes a while for shannon and tyler to get on the right wavelength. we see all of this play out from shannon's perspective and while tyler takes most of the blame for what went wrong between them, i think shannon was the actual problem with her insistence on holding things back and inadvertent expectation that tyler could read her mind/know her feelings without her telling him. she holds back crucial info, but his apology/grand gesture is actually pretty sweet, so i am going to let that go.
