I read 'How to Date a Nerd" by Cassie Mae.
Zoe has a great pair of legs, perky boobs, and wears exactly what she needs to show it all off. She works hard for the easy sleazy ‘you only wish you were me’ reputation, burying who she really is—an all-out nerd.
The only time Zoe gets to be herself is when she hides under her comforter to read X-Men comics, sending jealousy stabs at everyone who attends Comic-Con. Keeping up her popular rep is too important, and she’s so damn insecure to care about the consequences. But when Zoe’s sister takes her car for a ‘crash and burn into a tree’ joyride, her parents get her a replacement. A manual. Something she doesn’t know how to operate, but her next door neighbor Zak sure as heck does.
Zak’s a geek to the core, shunned by everyone in school for playing Dungeons and Dragons at lunch and wearing “Use the Force” t-shirts. And Zoe’s got it bad for the boy. Only Zak doesn’t want Popular Zoe. He wants Geek Zoe.
She has to shove her insecurities and the fear of dropping a few rungs on the social ladder aside to prove to Zak who she really is and who she wants to be… if she can figure it out herself.
My Review:
How to Date a Nerd by Cassie Mae
My rating: 5 of 5 stars 5 Platypires! I literally one clicked this book based on the title alone. For those who don't know I have been on a quest for nerdy/geeky books but real nerdy books. Meaning the characters had to be wearing their geek flag high. Comic books, sci-fi shows, cosplay, gamers etc... not a book where the person is just socially awkward and is labeled a nerd. Just no! "How to Date a Nerd" by Cassie Mae fit the bill. It was a cross of "The Summer I Became a Nerd" by Leah Rae Miller but written in the style of Kody Keplinger. I devoured this book all in one sitting. Going to high school and being a geek is really hard so I understood where Zoe was coming from. I didn't like the fact that she cared so much what other people thought about her but then again there wouldn't be a book if she was more confident. I also adored Zak and thought he was a great nerdy male lead. Great book boyfriend material. This book scores major points for all the geeky references and I can't wait to read more from Cassie Mae. I already bought the next book in the How to series. I would recommend this book for all those nerdy, geeky readers. View all my reviews |
