Queens of Geek
by Jen Wilde
4.5
I'm crying a little too much. I've never seen myself so much in any book. Ever. For that I treasure this book so damn much.
For the own-voices anxiety, queer and aspie representation, thank you so much, Jen Wilde.
I haven't ever grinned as much as I did when Charlie and Alyssa were interacting.
I haven't ever felt in love with a guy as much as I did seeing Jamie simply look at Taylor.
I haven't ever felt as validated as whenever Taylor mentioned anything about herself, her insecurities and her willingness to be brave despite those insecurities.
You're not seeing 5 stars because of a couple of things:
- I predicted absolutely everything;
- Alyssa's character (and almost every secondary character) lacks depth;
- As YouTubers, Charlie and Alyssa are in love with the personas the other has put online, not yet with whom they truly are, and it's a shame this isn't even mentioned (because it's less cute, right?) in the book)
But these aspects were looked over so easily in the grand scheme of things because the good was so much more important than the bad.
