Thank you to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for an e-arc of this book.
Teagan is here to win a beauty pageant so she can use the scholarship money for college. Kay is here to celebrate Great Con (a Sherlock Holmes convention) and hang out with her friends, while trying out they/them pronouns for the first time. When Teagan learns that one of her biggest fandoms is having a convention at the same hotel her beauty pageant is at, she has to sneak out, despite what it would mean for her chances at the competition...and when she runs into Kay, an epic romance ensues.
This book!!!! Is so!!! Adorable! It is seriously one of the cutest things I have ever read. Teagan and Kay are both absolutely amazing characters and they go together so well and I'm absolutely in love with their secret romance. I love all of Kay's supportive nerdy friends and Teagan's pageant bestie. I loved the way Teagan went all in at the pageants and proved that she could love traditionally girly things while still being a queer nerd. I loved the way Kay learned more about themself throughout the book and went through some serious character development! This book was everything, and it did my nerdy-queer-heart so much good!
