What is this book about?
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 creating: bedazzling, sewing, stitching, draping, pattern making. 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. They almost made the perfect team last year-or at least Raffy thought they did. But their relationship crashed and burned. Now, Raffy is after the perfect comeback.
But 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.
