Bookroo's summary

Edan feels powerful in her Gargantua costume, escaping a chaotic family and confusing crush. At conventions, she finds belonging, but her real life is unraveling. With her best friend away and a new connection with Kirk, Edan faces a choice: rely on a sidekick or become her own hero. Can she navigate the chaos and find her true strength?

From the publisher

This sweetly snarky, romantic YA novel follows Edan as she tries to gather the strength to be the hero in her own real life even as she connects with her dream boy at a costume competition.When Edan Kupferman dresses up like her favorite character, Gargantua, she feels tall and powerful. That’s important right now, because her family is a mess, her best friend is gone for the summer, her crush is confusing, and Edan’s feeling small and not sure which end is up. When Edan’s cosplaying, she can be angry, loud, and not the good girl everyone thinks she is. And when she’s at conventions, she feels like she’s found her own Team Tomorrow. But when her personal life starts to spiral out of control, Edan has to figure out whether she needs a sidekick, or if she has the strength to be the hero of her own story.
