If this would be my own convention experience when I'm going to my next one in August I'd be all too happy.
So this book takes place at a convention, and as a convention goer myself the feeling is all too relatable. I absolutely love going to them, loving the atmosphere and everything there is to do. This book captures that feeling really well and I got all of the good con feelings myself straight away getting all hyped up.
When we meet the love interest in at a selling stand the chaos is also sooo relatable and it was funny to see them struggle to properly talk and have a conversation. Always other people around trying to buy something too lol. Their conversation was absolutely sweet however and felt myself amoured to this kind stranger immediatily. When they then go to the panel it was a lot of fun that the main character kept trying to figure out what our stranger would think of it. I enjoyed those monologues a lot.
The book conintues with her meeting his friends and leads on to the sexy bits of this book. Ooooh yes the smut in this book was good. It was sweet how consent was important and they all tried to make Taryn feel save and valued. Even though they were practically strangers yet it felt very loving. But don't get me wrong it was hella hot too. It was really good and smutty I loved it (and I have read those bits again when I was in a certain mood).
After the initial time together there are a few other moments where things get heated too and I loved how those were structured with her spending some more time with each of the polycule 1 on 1. It was fun to see how everyone had different tastes in sex and thus all scenes felt absolutely different which was great. It gave the characters a lot of personality as well and made it even more fun.
All together I really enjoyed this book and I'd love to read more of this author.a
