Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
4.0
I really enjoyed this! I mean, it was set up to be my sort of book (enemies to lovers? gay? nonbinary character? autistic character? road trip? oops there's only one bed? gaming convention? SOLD.) And for the most part, it fit my expectations and was just a lot of fun.
I loved the geeking out over the (fictional) card game Odyssey. I loved the way Conrad and Alden had an enemies thing going on based on denied attraction and a lot of misunderstanding. I loved the way each was forced to acknowledge that the other wasn't actually that bad as they got to know each other and understand what they were going through.
The only reason I hesitate to give it the full five stars is that it drags on just a little too long. The is he/isn't he, and the second-guessing and doubt could have been dealt with earlier imo. So I was frequently left with the somewhat conflicting opinion of "this is great but I wish it was over already" as I read.
But overall tons of fun and absolutely worth picking up, especially if you enjoyed Red White & Royal Blue.
