Who's ready to sparkle??
Project
Runway goes to Comic Con in an epic queer love story about creativity,
passion, and finding the courage to be your most authentic self.
Raffy
has a passion for bedazzling. Not just bedazzling, but sewing,
stitching, draping, pattern making--for creation. He's always chosen his
art over everything--and everyone--else and is determined to make his
mark at this year's biggest cosplay competition. If he can wow there, it
could lead to sponsorship, then art school, and finally earning real
respect for his work. There's only one small problem... Raffy's
ex-boyfriend, Luca, is his main competition.
Raffy tried to make
it work with Luca. They almost made the perfect team last year after
serendipitously meeting in the rhinestone aisle at the local craft
store--or at least Raffy thought they did. But Luca's insecurities and
Raffy's insistence on crafting perfection caused their relationship to
crash and burn. Now, Raffy is after the perfect comeback, one that Luca
can't ruin.
But when Raffy is forced to partner with Luca on his
most ambitious build yet, he'll have to juggle unresolved feelings for
the boy who broke his heart, and his own intense self-doubt, to get
everything he's ever wanted: choosing his art, his way.
What a fabulous, fun read.

Not that it matters, as that's not the point of the story. This is a love poem to cosplay and all the work and imagination that goes into it.
