When Kirk, a boy from her high school, gets her into the sold out ComicCon, it starts to look like she might be able to take control of her life after all.

Edan like to cosplay as Garguanta because it make her feel strong. I would cosplay to feel the happiness of life instead of the misery. I would cosplay as Scarlett witch.

Whenever Eden re-entered into her own world of Cosplay she did things she would often never dare to do in her normal self and was able to gain newfound confidence in herself. Basically a new persona. If i were to use Cosplay as a coping method in my personal life i would use any superhero from Marvel because of their confidence in their skills and persistent for success despite being held in unbearable situations.

Cosplaying helped Eden when her father got accused of messing with the profits and money. Eden felt miserable because her mother was miserable like a part of her was gone, and her grandma and her mom would often argue with each other or with her. Cosplaying helped Eden get away from that reality. Cosplaying could help me when I'm feeling down and tired of everything.

If I had to use cosplaying to escape from the crazy realities of life I would be my favourite character Captain Marvel.

In the novel Edan's dad is being slowly convicted of fraud, and to escape this she takes up cosplaying this endeavour is originally a way to hang out with a boy but ends up a much needed confidence boost. She cosplays her favourite comic book character, Gargantua from Team Tomorrow after having an attitude problem at home her grandmother and mother force her to spend her saturdays cosplaying for little kids in the hospital her grandmother works she does this with her friend from school Kirk Gomez and after winter break when he misses school for a week she hunts him down and ends up kissing with him. She is torn between her current boyfriend whom constantly makes her prove that she is actually a nerd (which is crazy because being a nerd is about not being questioned for who you are) and the boy she really likes who lets her feel like herself around him partly because he is the only one who knows about her dad maybe going to jail.

cosplaying helped Edan a lot through her struggles in her life, with her family and school. I'm a cosplayer and i love to cosplay as my oc (original character) Strawberry. she helps me with personal struggles and i love cosplaying as different things. when ever i get home i almost always put on my outfit and do my homework. I feel safe from struggles i have in my life. -By jhale' UwU

Eden used cosplay in order to unlock her hidden characteristics and to solve problems. For example, as Gargantua, Eden was more confident in her actions. She also was able to answer questions by referring back to Gargantua’s actions in Team Tomorrow.

The book was amazing. I'm not much of a reader but it's books like these that change my mind. Eden was a strong female leading character. She was outspoken. Through all of her boy problems and family situations she has kept strong. She cosplayed as her favorite member from team Tomorrow, Gargantua. I absolutely loved her character. My favorite scene was when she went to the comic con in chapter 5 with Yuri and his friends. Yuri however was very sexist and did not truly understand being a comic con fan. Eden overcame her old crush on her and saw him for who he really was. She would overcome her family problems and be happy as Gargantua as well.
