Conventionally Yours

De: Annabeth Albert

Narrado por: Kirt Graves, Joel Froomkin

Charming, charismatic, and effortlessly popular, Conrad Stewart seems to have it all...but in reality, he's scrambling to keep his life from tumbling out of control.

Brilliant, guarded, and endlessly driven, Alden Roth may as well be the poster boy for perfection...but even he can't help but feel a little broken inside.

When these mortal enemies are stuck together on a cross-country road trip to the biggest fan convention of their lives, their infamous rivalry takes a backseat as an unexpected connection is forged. Yet each has a reason why they have to win the upcoming Odyssey gaming tournament, and neither is willing to let emotion get in the way - even if it means giving up their one chance at something truly magical.

Delightful!

I’ve been searching for a book with substance for weeks now and Conventionally Yours was everything and more!

Good story

I really enjoyed this story! It was fun, light-hearted and cute, with just the right amount of emocional drama: just what I was hoping for! I have to agree with other listeners that the voice actor for Alden might not have been the best choice for his character, but the fact that English isn't my first language might have helped in not finding it that off-putting most of the time (as I'm not as familiar with accents and so). I'd say if you're looking for a YA lgbt romance with the characteristics I mentioned before, go for it!

loved it!

I wasn't sure about it at first because I am not much for table top games like this, but the story was presented in such a way that I could not only understand, but also enjoy those parts. Great story, highly recommend.

Good story. Good narration.

This is a wonderfully adorable story about being part of a counter culture (that is verging on being simply a subculture) that many have viewed as nerdy. The author was pretty careful not to use that terminology which I very much appreciate. I have spent most of my adult life as part of the gaming/cosplay/comic culture. I am usually disappointed when I run across a book about this group. Few authors seem to genuinely understand the culture as a whole, but Annabeth Albert is an exception. She did an excellent job.

Even if you aren't a part of the gaming community, you can appreciate a very sweet story about two people getting to know one another better than they expected they would.

Narration spectacular but then I wouldn’t expect less from these seasoned professionals.
Loved the story and it’s message.
Fans of TJ Klune books should enjoy this.
