Be Dazzled by Ryan La Sala
4.0
Rupaul’s drag race cross Comic-Con with some sequins and a love/hate relationships!
The book flips between present day and the beginning of Raffy and Luca’s friendship turned instant love affair. Raffy know how he is and he owns the runway. He is known for his passion of bedazzling cosplay outfits on his social media. Luca walks into his world, the bi soccer player who wants Raffy yet isn’t ready to be with him in front of the world.
We find out quite quickly that the two needed on awful terms and are now running against each other at the biggest cosplay completion. As the competition going on get a parallel timeline on how they relationship started and ended. Building the story and characters along the way. Luca isn’t the only one fighting for his family to approve of his hobby, Raffy’s mother doesn’t take his arts and crafts seriously yet all he wants is her approval.
When the competition goes in another direction the two are left partnerless in the final round with their only option working together to win. Can they work together and put their feeling and heartbreak aside to win?
Omg I loved this books!!! It covers young adult themes of finding yourself, being authentic and having the courage to be yourself! It’s a big Be Dazzled yes from me!!
