I have such a clear memory of the first time I read this book.

It was summer 2020 and I was still working in retail. I finished a shift and immediately went to my favourite cafe. I got an iced coffee and banana bread and settled in to read. I'd intended to only be there for a little while but I just couldn't put the book down.

Back then it was exactly what I needed. It gave me hope for finding love and for a future I'd never really allowed myself to imagine.

With just one read it became my favourite book of all time. 

So, when I was looking for something to read this week and my fiancé suggested I re-read Conventionally Yours, I knew it was the right choice.

I've always related to Conrad and his story. This time more so than ever. I left this story with a new sense of hope this time around. That I do have the power to succeed. All I need is one more move. 

This book is still my favourite book of all time. I cannot recommend it enough!! <3

An easy read, following the same familiar tropes that most romance-type book readers love. Almost a bit predictable, but not in a disappointing way.

📍Roadtrip
💕 Found Family
👍 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.

Spice Level: 🌶️ (1/5)
Release Date: 02, June 2020
POV: Switching, First Person
Rep: Gay (MCs), LGBTQIA+ (SCs), Mental Health, Neurodivergent characters
