Don’t just take our word for it, but our reviewers word as well:

“The Crafting-Con was a delightfully swoony second chance YA romance and love letter to all things fandom and cosplay. I adored this book from the very first chapter, and found myself connecting with Ava and her stubborn determination to fight for the people in her life that mattered to her and were still there. The writing is lighthearted at times, and poignant at others, as Ava deals with a father who chose to walk out on his marriage and move across the country, and decides she will burn all her memories of him, even if that means giving up cosplay and the cons she loved so much—and her friend Declan. I loved the intense first crush chemistry between Declan and Ava. It was so intense on both sides. They team up after five years apart to work on a last minute project that could help Declan get a summer opportunity with a local prop-maker, and this comes just as Ava’s friend group is trying to nudge her towards a potential romance, prom is coming, parties are in the air, along with all the usual high school adventures. And how will she get through her first con in years while avoiding her famous dad? I loved this! 5/5 stars.”

– Kat Kinney

“Where do I even begin? The way I love this book… love isn’t even the right word. The characters grabbed me, heart and soul, from the start. From the first page I was utterly invested, staying up late to finish—and I could already read it again! I absolutely need this book on my shelf.
E. P. Stavs has a natural talent when it comes to writing. Her voice, and that of her characters, soars. Ava and Declan are the geeky MCs teenage me would have been best friends with—they felt so real, their struggles and insecurities handled beautifully, their absolute love of all things fandom delightful and refreshing, their romance… the SWOON!!! My heart was so happy reading about these childhood friends finding their way back to each other.
I can’t forget the other characters in this incredible book, though! Stasia, Hiro, Tyler… I love them too. Like, I would devour any more content with any of these characters, and hope we get more someday! More Ava and Declan romance, more side quests with the friend group—all of it! The Crafting Con is a geeky gem, and I can’t wait for people to fall for Ava and Dec the way I have!”
