A Novel

"A breezy, snappy story about fandom, friendships, and being true to yourself.” (TJ Klune)

One small fandom convention. One teen beauty pageant. One meet-cute waiting to happen.

Up-and-coming fanfic author Kaylee Beaumont is internally screaming at the chance to finally meet her fandom friends in real life and spend a weekend at GreatCon. She also has a side quest for the weekend:

• Try out they/them pronouns to see how it feels
• Wear more masculine-presenting cosplay
• Kiss a girl for the first time

It’s...a lot, and Kay mostly wants to lie facedown on the hotel floor. Especially when her hometown bully, Miss North Carolina, shows up in the very same hotel. But there’s this con-sponsored publishing contest and the chance to meet her fandom idols...and then, there’s Teagan.

Pageant queen Teagan Miller (Miss Virginia) has her eye on the much-needed prize: the $25,000 scholarship awarded to the winner of the Miss Cosmic Teen USA pageant. She also has secrets:

• She loves the dresses but hates the tiaras
• She’s a giant nerd for everything GreatCon
• She’s gay AF

If Teagan can just keep herself wrapped up tight for one more weekend, she can claim the scholarship and go off to college out and proud. If she’s caught, she could lose everything she’s worked for. If her rival, Miss North Carolina, has anything to do with it, that’s exactly how it’ll go down.

When Teagan and Kay bump into one another the first night, sparks fly. Their connection is intense - as is their shared enemy. If they’re spotted, the safe space of the con will be shattered, and all their secrets will follow them home. The risks are great...but could the reward of embracing their true selves be worth it?

A bighearted, joyful romance and a love letter to all things geek, The One True Me and You is a "witness me" celebration of standing up for, and being, yourself.

“A love letter to the support of online communities, to the friendships that define you, and to the ongoing, lifelong challenge to define yourself.” (Emma Lord)

"This geeky rom-com is fan-tastic and i-con-ic." (BuzzFeed)

I ADORE THIS STORY!!

As a 40 something year old person who has never felt quite right being called a girl/lady/woman/ma’am, always cringed when told I should wear clothes that we more flattering (ie: show off the cleavage I was richly endowed with), and chopped off my long hair in college (and never grew back)- I wish I had known that other people felt the same way that I did.
I grew up during the 80’s & 90’s in a small (two stop light 🚥) town, was raised catholic (inheriting the guilt that goes hand in hand with being catholic) and always felt like something was inherently broken inside of me.
I’ve blocked out most of my awful high school years, but reading this book reminded me not only of how far we’ve come, but also how some things haven’t really changed at all.

These characters felt real, nothing seemed overly dramatized, and I was rooting for them from the jump!

Everyone should read this, and the narration was on point!

awesome story
