Die Geschichte folgt Mars, der nach dem tragischen Tod seiner Schwester Caroline von Trauer geplagt wird. Um sich mit seiner Vergangenheit auseinanderzusetzen, nimmt er an der Aspen Summer Academy teil, von der er einst wegen seiner Genderfluidität ausgeschlossen wurde.

Who's ready to sparkle?? 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. Raffy has a passion for bedazzling. Not just bedazzling, but sewing, stitching, draping, pattern making--for creation. 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. If he can wow there, it could lead to sponsorship, then art school, and finally earning real respect for his work. There's only one small problem... Raffy's ex-boyfriend, Luca, is his main competition. Raffy tried to make it work with Luca. 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. But Luca's insecurities and Raffy's insistence on crafting perfection caused their relationship to crash and burn. Now, Raffy is after the perfect comeback, one that Luca can't ruin. But 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.

From Ryan La Sala, author of the tantalizingly twisted The Honeysand riotously imaginative Reverie, comes a chilling new contemporaryfable about art, aesthetic obsession, and the gaze that peersback at us from behind our reflections.
