I have had this on my TBR from the moment I saw it in B&N last year and thought February would be the perfect time to finally read this! It did not disappoint. 

Kenya has her degree in engineering but is choosing to follow her passion in cosplaying, causing tension between her and her parents. The parent/daughter dynamic was so real it was a little hard to read at times. Kenya and Cam’s relationship is freaking adorable and the reader gets both character’s perspectives throughout each chapter. I loved following them along the rollercoaster of emotions caused by the stress of winning the competition, the watchful eyes and opinions of viewers on national television, and the navigation of a fake-but-not-fake relationship.

The only complaint I have is Kenya and Cam being secretly in love with each other the whole time. It got really repetitive and I found myself saying “we get it” almost every chapter. That being said! This book was so cute and I definitely recommend it!
