Conventionally Yours

Conventionally Yours

By Annabeth Albert

Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2020. 389 pages. Fiction

Conrad Stewart and Alden Parks are enemies, and that's the way it's always been. But when they're stuck together on a cross-country road trip to the biggest gaming convention of their lives, the competition takes a backseat as unexpected feelings blossom. Yet each boy has a reason why they have to win the upcoming con 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. 

I can't tell you how many times I squealed at the adorableness of this book! I loved watching the slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance play out because it was really sweet and revealed deeper aspects to the characters. This nerdy romance is a great addition to the 'new adult' genre.
