I loved watching them talk through their struggles and coming to into their own and coming to terms with themselves. I loved watching both Alden and Conrad open up and really start to think about what their future looks like. I will say, if you're the kind of person that minds fade-to-black, this is fade to black- so walk in with that knowledge. I am a sucker for a road trip romance and the "only one bed" trope and this one certainly delivers that. So, like, when do you do the thing you're supposed to be doing all the time? While I understood nothing about the game, I loved that it was included and such a big part of the book. So many times I read a "sports" romance, where there's actually no sport on the page. I enjoyed this book so much!! I will say, the game play did play a large part in the book, and it mostly all went over my head, but also, I really liked that they actually played the thing they played on the page. If you're looking for something cute and adorable to pick up this summer, look no further than Conventionally Yours. All in all, a great story! 🎧 Kirt Graves and Joel Froomkin are two of the best narrators around and they did a stellar job - we are not worthy!Īll the light and fluffy cuteness you need I liked the characters a lot, I was drawn into the game play matches despite never having played a game like this, and I desperately wanted them to succeed at life, love, and the tournament. I wasn’t quite convinced he was on the autism spectrum, he seemed very socially aware and adept, but that was my only gripe. Both main characters nurse life wounds and these are fully fleshed out: while popular, Conrad is estranged from his family for being gay, has little money, and no prospects while bright, Alden is socially awkward, rule-bound, and not neurotypical. I guess I thought this would be a fun nerdy road trip, but it was squarely in hurt / comfort territory.
When they take a road trip to Vegas to compete in a gaming tournament, they must rely on their car (not good) and each other (better) to fulfil their dreams of winning. Frenemies, Conrad and Alden are part of an adept vlogger group who fanatically play a fantasy card game called Odyssey.
