💕 Found Family
👍 Rivals to Lovers

Conrad and Alden have such a good rivals to lovers relationship.  They both play the card game Odyssey and have the opportunity to play in tournaments, something that is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip.  If they win it would help solve some of the problems in their lives.

The queer rep in this book was so nicely written, I loved how it was all normalized, and how there were so many queer characters.  The found family was everything.  And I have to mention how much I loved all the artwork throughout this book!

I love how well the characters worked together how the rivals became friends and then boyfriends.  The grumpy x sunshine trope fit their personalities so well.
