The only problem? The boy who broke his heart is competing as well. Raffy refuses to let his mom get him down and has his eyes set on winning Controverse. What Raffy doesn’t have is a mother who support him, so he resorts to creating in secret. He even has his own streaming channel to give intimate insight into his costume builds. Raphael ‘Raffy’ Odom thrives on competitive cosplay. That being said, no real knowledge of either is needed to enjoy this absolute gem of a story.
Touted as Project Runway goes to Comic Con, I was a bit apprehensive as to what to expect with this story since my knowledge of both fashion and Comic Con is basic to say that least. Now, Raffy is after the perfect comeback, one that Luca can’t ruin.īut when Raffy is forced to partner 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, to get everything he’s ever wanted: choosing his art, his way.īe Dazzled is a funny and whimsical coming of age story that is unapologetically queer.
But Luca’s insecurities and Raffy’s insistence on crafting perfection caused their relationship to crash and burn. They almost made the perfect team last year after serendipitously meeting in the rhinestone aisle at the local craft store–or at least Raffy thought they did. There’s only one small problem… Raffy’s ex-boyfriend, Luca, is his main competition. If he can wow there, it could lead to sponsorship, then art school, and finally earning real respect for his work.
He’s always chosen his art over everything–and everyone–else and is determined to make his mark at this year’s biggest cosplay competition. Not just bedazzling, but sewing, stitching, draping, pattern making–for creation. Project Runway goes to Comic Con in an epic queer love story about creativity, passion, and finding the courage to be your most authentic self.
