Conventionally Yours

Written by Annabeth Albert, Conrad Stewart is a popular kid who seems to have it all, while the driven Alden Roth possesses an introverted perfectionism. When these two mortal enemies end up stuck together on a cross-country road trip to attend a fan convention, they forge a connection – forcing them to question everything they’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Dolan untangles a modern love triangle, exploring queer identity and Irish culture in the process. The author has generated comparisons to Sally Rooney; they’re not entirely unfounded, but she’s got her style.
