Thank you NewSouth books for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
Who’s ready to sparkle??
Project Runway goes to Comic Con in an epic queer love story about creativity, passion, and finding the courage to be your most authentic self.
Raffy has a passion for bedazzling. Not just bedazzling, but sewing, stitching, draping, pattern making–for creation. He’s always chosen his art over everything–and everyone–else and is determined to make his mark at this year’s biggest cosplay competition. If he can wow there, it could lead to sponsorship, then art school, and finally earning real respect for his work. There’s only one small problem… Raffy’s ex-boyfriend, Luca, is his main competition.
Review:
La Sala definitely has a way with words and a way with beautiful stories.
Raffy has a passion for creating and building clothes, specially when it comes to cosplay. So when the chance to enter a cosplay competition comes along with the chance to win a spot in art school, Raffy can’t say no, even when he is competing against his ex.
I love that this is based around cosplay and arts and crafts! Creating clothes is a hobby of mine and I love a good cosplay, which meant I was fascinated with this book from the opening page!
Raffy is defensive for his passion while Luca seems to have eyes for Raffy. Their romance and competition are highly entertaining as it shifts between present and past to build their relationship. This story was heart-warming and explosive!
