Ok... diverse, geeky, and ultra heartwarming, did this one feel like it was pandering to what ppl like me wish the world was like? Sure. Was it sweet enough to give me a toothache at times? Sure. But was it also very refreshing with great characters and great representation? Absolutely.

Okay, I really wish this had a more interesting #FirstLineFridays opener, because the book itself is so good!

I loved that this book dealt with so many different issues: Bisexuality, Autism, Anxiety and Social Media to name a few. The only thing that would have made this book better is if it was longer. I wanted more. 😊

"We're all messy. What kind of friends would we be if we demanded you only show us your prettiness? This isn't Instagram - it's real life. And real life is messy."
What a fabulous book about friends, fans, and how vulnerability can be a strength. Great anxiety rep and LGBTQ+ characters. I read this short YA book in one sitting and highly recommend it. 💗💗💗💗💗
Such a fun story with a diverse group of characters that really revolved around friendship. This book made me happy and it was very relatable!

#adventrecommends Day 24. Final day I think ? Read this a little while back. Probably last year. Has bi and anxiety rep. Really enjoyed this and it went by super quick.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Throughout this book I found myself laughing and smiling at it. This book had so many parts that were relatable and real. I found myself relating to tay the most, I suffer from social anxiety and personally, I could never walk out on a stage like she did. Tay is brave and by the end of the book, she knows it.
This book was pretty good. I just dont think contemporary romance isn't the best choice for me right now because of going through a break up. If this would have been read at a different time i think it would have a higher rating
This was a fun quick read about three friends going to a SupaCon and not knowing it was going to change their lives in so many ways. Charlie is getting over a bad break up with a costar when she meets her long time crush Alyssa and realizes fast that the crush isn't so one sided. Jamie and Taylor have been friends forever but have never told each other how the truly feel about each other. It was such a cute book! Loved the Fangirl parts!
This book was really cute but was your typical YA romance novel. I did like how it was centered around a comic convention, made it a bit more fun. Nothing really wrong with the story but nothing stood out too much either. It was a simple read and was honestly the kind of read I was looking for.
Yesssss I love fangirl stories!! I need to read every book there is about fangirls
Amazing, beautiful, cute and geeky book! Definitely one of my favourite of the year 😍5/5
I recommend this book to anyone and everyone! I especially would recommend this book to my fellow fangirls! Power to the fans ladies! We are all queens of geek!

Starting this one today. The end of the year will be here before we know it! I need to hit 105 books by the end of the year. (I‘m failing 🤬) The lease I can do is complete #LitsyAtoZ Only a few letters left!
#auginbooks18 #favoritecontemporarybook one of my favorite books. Not only do I love the cover, I also really love the story as well.
What I expected: a cute YA romcom set in a convention.
What I got: lesbians, PoC, aspie girls, anti-fat shaming, bisexuals, toxic relationship recovery, bounce houses, fandoms, cosplayers, girls supporting girls, literature changing lives, anxiety, vloggers, video games, living for the moment... Oh, yeah... and a cute YA romcom set in a convention.
This is the book I needed when I was 15. A bit preachy, but a HUGE pick.

This is one of the most astute descriptions of chronic anxiety I've seen. This book is WAY more then I was expecting. 😍
Wonderfully fluffy, geeky, diverse read perfect for ComicCon month. I was not as wholly invested in the characters as I wish but I think I can safely chalk that down to a sort of disconnect stemming from being much past 18 years old, pop culture spouting, first/second love. I was really taken by a scene where the character with intense social anxiety met another Aspie, and had a big smile on my face all through the last 30 pages or so.
Started my book club's pick for this month and got in a good 60 pages. Shaping up to be a nice light and fluffy read.

This books feels warm and fuzzy. All the nerdy feels and fun romcom moments! It's an incredibly easy and quick read. Not deep but super fun.

I loved this so much I immediately made my colleague read it. She did, twice. In two days 😁 Reading books with geeky protagonists like this one always make me so freaking jealous because we don't have anything that comes near the awesomeness of their SupaCon, and also I wish Taylor and Charlie are real and are my friends. Both the romances in this book are sweet, but it's the friendships and fandoms that sold me on this book.
This. This whole thing. It's exactly what it feels like every day.
This was a great, feel-good read with lots of minority representation, including an autistic girl and a bisexual girl. I really enjoyed it, and it's one from my #ActuallyAutistic reading list for #AutismAcceptancemonth. (Also I made my husband take this picture, because that's my hair behind the book! XD) Oh! It's also my "friendship" book for #Booked2018, the Litsy Reading Challenge.
Good but not great. Great representation and fun themes (fandom! bi Chinese Australian girl! fat autistic girl with anxiety! friendship!) but the characterization is lacking. None of the characters were fully developed. It also felt a tad preachy--not about anything I wouldn't support but it felt weird and inauthentic to read teens talking like it's a political tumblr post someone ten years older came up with. #QueerBooks #BisexualBooks #QueerYA

I loved this book. I loved the characters, the relationships, the setting. I loved the strong female characters. I especially loved that the main characters were normal people, they weren't this glossy version of people that media tends to show us. And the cover 😍😍😍 Seriously, read this book ❤️
Anyone else weirded out when they read a book where you share the same name as a main character?
I'm reading the book that I got from my #BlanketAndABookSwap and one of the main characters has the same name as me!! It's so weird reading a book where the character's nicknames are ones people sometimes call you. She and I are polar opposites but still super similar (booknerd and fangirl anyone?) Thanks again @Jadams1776 💓💗
Why did no one tell me about this awesome book! Y‘all! Read this book!
@Jadams1776 Thank you so very much! I LOVE my new #Blanket and I'm super excited to dive into this book. I couldn't get a picture that showed off the beautiful tartan pattern on the blanket but it's absolutely perfect for this Scotland loving gal. (It actually matches a scarf I own perfectly!!)
AND I've actually never read a book where a main character has my name. #BlanketAndABookSwap
