Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the earc of this title in exchange for my honest review.

This book. This book!

This book manages to pack every wonderful, freeing feeling of being surrounded by fandom friends and being your authentic self that attending a convention entails. From karaoke, to decorating your silly little hotel doors, or simply getting to meet and be in the presence of your pocket friends for the first time, this book had me reminiscing about every favorite con memory I possess. After the last few years and all the cons being putting on hold, this had me tearing up a few times because I miss this feeling SO much. England captures that con feeling perfectly and it's lovely to get swept up in.

Kay and Teagan meet when a fan convention for a popular Sherlock Holmes tv show is held in the same hotel as the Miss Cosmic Teen USA pageant takes place. Kay has A List of things they're determined to accomplish at this con, and when they bump into Teagan, Miss Virginia in the pageant and a fellow secret fandom nerd, sparks fly. Teagan is hiding many things- her sexuality, her love of all things nerdy, etc., to make it through this final pageant and land a scholarship to the school of her choice. As the pair tries to enjoy their time together and make it through the weekend under the radar, they are met with several obstacles.

This was just SO FUN. I love the con atmosphere, as well as the taking on of all the stereotypes of both pageant girls and people in fandom. It's a celebration of being who you are for you, not who you try to be for others. The side characters are fabulous, and I swear I know people like all of them in my fandom circles. It's incredibly relatable and has something for everyone.

I couldn't put this down. Definitely recommend picking this one up!
