Don't Cosplay with My Heart Cecil Castellucci Books Reviews

This is a short book, a fast paced and light read. It has an interesting approach to geek culture, I hadn’t read a book that focuses on geek stuff before, so it was a novelty for me that kept me interested because I like attending to conventions, and I like videogames, comics and anime. I got an arc of this book at San Diego Comic Con, a convention mentioned in this book.

I think Edan’s fanatism was sometimes extreme to the point she wanted to merge herself with her favorite character. I suppose it’s something that happens to some people, but I thought she was being kind of ridiculous sometimes.

I’m not sure if Team Tomorrow is a real comic, because when I looked up for Gargantua it turned out there is a Marvel character with that name and the same abilities, but it’s a male instead of female like in the book. There were sections after each chapter where there is information about Team Tomorrow, the characters and the creators of the comic. This information was a filler, the book is short but this helped it to stretch more. I read all the information in those sections, but if you don’t read them, it doesn’t really make a difference.

Even if Team Tomorrow and Gargantua’s story don’t add much to the plot, it’s still interesting and I think it’s good book material. If Rainbow Rowell wrote a book about a fanfic featured in Fangirl, I think Castellucci can write one about Team Tomorrow.

The characters in the book are okay, but I couldn’t feel connected with them at all, maybe because the book is short. Edan is an interesting main character, even thou I liked her geeky self, I still found her self-centered and selfish with those around her. She enclosed herself in her pain and ignored everyone else’s. Also, besides the second love interest, the rest of the characters were really mean with her, sometimes exaggerating and I couldn’t like them anymore afterwards.

The ending feels rushed and kind of abrupt; I still have some questions that were not answered in the end. There is a part in which she is blamed for something serious she didn’t do, and none believes her and that issue is never really resolved, the culprit doesn’t pay for what he did.

I must admit the characters were diverse, there was a lesbian character, but as always it was side character who also happened to be Asian, killing two birds with one stone. I was surprised that one of the love interests was a latino boy, it’s rare to find latinos represented in books, thou at first he and his cousin had this cholo stereotype vibe.

I liked the romance, it’s slow but healthy and portrays a good relationship that blooms out of a good friendship, and they support each other even in the hardships.

Don’t Cosplay with my Heart (I still think the title is kinda funny) is a light and enjoyable read, I think it’s perfect if you like geek stuff like conventions and superheroes. It shows a main character growing and overcoming her difficulties, and also shows a contrast of an unhealthy vs. a healthy romantic relationship, and the stigma that girls can’t enjoy geek stuff, or if they do they are fake fans trying to be special. If you like comics, cosplay, or geek stuff in general, you’ll probably like this book.
4.5 stars. I loved the comic/fandom created for the book and the ways the main character applied the comic to her life. I loved the comic convention pieces as well as the relationships in the book. Terrific!
I absolutey adore this book! I think that it is just so realistic in many diffrent ways! This book has such a huge effect on me. It has really showed me that there is mothing wrong with having a voice. It has made me absolutey adore comic con. I dthink the only downside I habe to this book, is that there was alot of hesitation wich really anoyed me, but in a way, helped the book. I thought that the ending didnt really feel like an ending. It was A HUGE cliff hanger!
Don’t Cosplay with My Heart wanted to hit all of the geeky notes in my heart and didn’t quite succeed. Emotionally, I had a fun time with this book but logically it was not particularly well written or thought out. By the end of the book, I had many questions. There were plot points that introduced to the story and never addressed again, which was a little bit frustrating. I wanted to know what happened and I felt like I was missing the final 50 pages of the book, which should have been used to wrap everything up nicely.

Our main character, Edan, is having a rough time at home, as her entire world is flipped upside down and she decides she needs a distraction. What better distraction than attending her first ever Comic Book Convention? She is immediately hooked and decided to create a club at school so that she can share her newfound passion for cosplay and sewing with others. I didn’t feel that any of the characters were particularly well developed. The romance was obvious and needed more depth.

One of my favourite sentiments from the story was that you can be a geek or a nerd or whatever you want to call yourself - if you’re passionate about something, you’re a real geek. It doesn’t matter if you pour over issues of comics, play video games until your eyes blur, watch Anime dubbed or subbed (despite the debate), or anything else – you’re a real geek. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise, embrace and love your passions. They’re authentic and so are you.

While the plot wasn’t particularly unique or the characters memorable, it was still an homage to geekdom and just an enjoyable, fluffy (nerdy) contemporary read. Don’t expect too much out of it and you’ll enjoy yourself.
