I had such a wonderful time reading Conventionally Yours. It was a fun and nerdy queer romcom that had so many favorite tropes within it. The characters have various backgrounds (we only get a good look at the romantic couple this time around, but the others will be explored in the next ones in the series) such as two mothers with successful careers vs bigoted conservative parents. It touches nicely on how regardless of an upbringing, everyone struggles with something. There is a neurodivergent main character as well as a nonbinary secondary character (will get their own spotlight in another book in this series). Overall, Conventionally Yours was simply a fun romantic queer read with a core in nerd/fandom culture.
