Zoe Rosenthal discovers the world of cons when she sneaks off to Atlanta for the Dragon Con convention so she can screen a sneak preview of the new season of her favorite show, Bleeders. Bleeders has a small but dedicated (fanatical?) fanbase called Bloodygits. Zoe ends up meeting other Bloodygits and meets up with her new friends at more cons throughout the year. They start a campaign to save the show that includes writing fan fiction and Zoe contemplates where she would fall on the character alignment chart from good to evil and lawful to chaotic. The problem is that her boyfriend is super serious, focusing on his college applications and super-important job on a political campaign. Things get complicated when his sister realizes what Zoe is up to and forces Zoe to bring her along. Will Zoe finish her college applications? Will she and her boyfriend go to college together? YA readers will enjoy this hilarious romp.
