Reviews

[Sam@WLABB]

What do you get when you gather four different cons under one roof? You get a fun story of friendship, which simply charmed the pants off of me.

•Pro: Books featuring female friendships always rank high with me, and I really felt the love among these three. It didn't matter that they were so different from each other or not even attending the same convention, they saw someone in need, responded, and a friendship grew from there. Girls supporting girls for the win!

•Pro: The cons were pretty awesome. I learned so much "attending" the percussion competition and taxidermy convention. These are worlds I am not too well versed in, but the information was shared in such a way, that it was quite fascinating.

•Pro: WTFcon was also a ton of fun. This was more in my comfort zone, and I could totally relate to all the con related talk. The contests, the panels, the nerdy talk, and all the events brought back memories of all the fun conventions I have attended in the past, and it really made me want to attend an event again soon.

•Pro: The main characters in the book was simply wonderful. They were teens, who were still figuring stuff out. They made mistakes, and learned from those mistakes. Each character grew, and learned to see things a little differently, and be a little more open minded. They forgave and atoned, and I am all about people being able to do those things.

•Pro: The three authors did a wonderful job tying their three stories together. At first, each characters' story plays out on its own, but then, worlds collided, and that's were it took off for me. I enjoyed flipping between the three POVs and absolutely adored the interview portion of the story.

•Pro: There is like zero lag in this story. It was highly entertaining, amusing, heartwarming, and adorable.

•Pro: I love people who chase their passion, and these three each had something they were super passionate about. It was awesome to see them working towards these dreams, and was sort of inspiring too.

Overall: A heartwarming and hilarious story of female friendship, that kept a smile on my face.
