๐Roadtrip
๐ Found Family
๐ Rivals to Lovers
Conrad and Alden have such a good rivals to lovers relationship. They both play the card game Odyssey and have the opportunity to play in tournaments, something that is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip. If they win it would help solve some of the problems in their lives.
The queer rep in this book was so nicely written, I loved how it was all normalized, and how there were so many queer characters. The found family was everything. And I have to mention how much I loved all the artwork throughout this book!
I love how well the characters worked together how the rivals became friends and then boyfriends. The grumpy x sunshine trope fit their personalities so well.
