From bestselling author Ryan La Sala, there’s nothing like a little dazzling competition to heal a broken heart. Now in paperback!
Raffy can make anything. He can bedazzle, sew, stitch, drape, and turn the most ordinary objects into fabulous costumes. He has always chosen his art over everything—and everyone—else, and this year he is determined to win the biggest cosplay competition in Boston. 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.
Last year Luca and Raffy made the perfect team after serendipitously meeting in the rhinestone aisle at the local craft store—or at least Raffy thought they did. But Luca's fear and Raffy's insistence on perfection caused their relationship to crash and burn. Now Raffy is determined to win and have the major comeback he knows he deserves.
But when Raffy ends up partnering 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 as he works to get everything he’s ever wanted—finally choosing his art, his way.
