Synopsis
Charming, charismatic, and effortlessly popular, Conrad Stewart seems to have it all…but in reality, he’s scrambling to keep his life from tumbling out of control.
Brilliant, guarded, and endlessly driven, Alden Roth may as well be the poster boy for perfection…but even he can’t help but feel a little broken inside.
When these mortal enemies are stuck together on a cross-country road trip to the biggest fan convention of their lives, their infamous rivalry takes a backseat as an unexpected connection is forged. Yet each has a reason why they have to win the upcoming Odyssey gaming tournament and neither is willing to let emotion get in the way—even if it means giving up their one chance at something truly magical.

Review
Conventionally Yours totally hooked me from the beginning. I mean how could I not love a book about two guys who fall in love on their way to a gaming convention?
Did I love the LGBTQ+ and nerd aspects of this book? Oh yes, but that isn’t why I have already recommended it to two people. Well, maybe it is wh I recommended it to one of those people… But while that might be why you start the book it is the characters and their relationship that keeps you reading. I loved that this book is about two people who make each other better. It is certainly more pronounced in Alden, wh starts to believe in himself and more importantly, figures out what he wants. B t Conrad is just as much changed, realizing he is good enough.
I really enjoyed learning about these characters as they drove across the country. This book is sweet but also very realistic, which is a hard combination to find. My one complaint is that this card game that is very prevalent in this book is not explained. I am sure it is based on some real-world game, I’m just not familiar with it.
I really enjoyed this book, and I really have recommended it to two friends, and I am now recommending it to all of you.
