This was the first Annabeth Albert book I had read, and I must say, I rather enjoyed it. It was fun and emotional, and delivered some serious warm-fuzzies for me. Lots to love, and here are five things I really adored about CONVENTIONALLY YOURS.
• Conrad and Alden - I would have never imagined them as a couple, but I absolutely loved watching them fall for each other. This really was an enemies-to-lovers type story, as they were nemeses, in and out of game play, and it was sweet watching them start to see each other in a different way.
• The Road Trip - I am always up for a road trip, and this one took us from NJ to Vegas, with some pretty interesting stops along the way. I enjoyed seeing the local attractions, as well as watching the tension between Conrad and Alden grow.
• Odyssey - I once tried to learn how to play Pokemon, when my daughter was obsessed, but never really got the hang of it. That's why I am always so impressed by people, who are able to master these games. However, I never expected to find the game play sequences so thrilling. Albert did a fantastic job drawing me into the game, and all the details and intricacies had me captivated.
• The Drama - Aside from their personal drama, there was a big obstacle for the guys to overcome. Like I said, only one could win it all, and I found myself getting really emotional about this.
• The Ending - Those who know me understand, that I am all about the ending. And, wow! What a great outcome for Alden and Conrad! Albert really tied up those loose ends, and gave them such a fantastic start to their future together. It exceeded my expectations, and was simply stupendous.
Overall: I really enjoyed this book. I found so many reasons to root for these two as they made their way to the convention, their future, and their HEA.
