The Love Con by Seressia Glass

4.0

3.5, rounding up. Cute book with likeable characters. However, a major issue is that a main component of the plot is a cosplay competition and the reader is pulled directly into the final round. We don't get to see anything leading up to the final round and instead we're only partially filled in on the rest of it. The stakes were undercut by the fact that in the very first chapter, we know that Kenya already has a fifty-fifty chance of winning in the final round. I wanted to experience the entire competition, and ultimately the book fell short because of the choice to start so far towards the end.
