review 1: I frakking LOVED this book!This book was mean, it was hilarious and it will make you swoon for the hot nerdy boy next door. By day, Zoe is one of the mean girls, the b*tch that always has something mean to say. She dresses sluty and always has guys hanging all over her. Yep you guess it, she's also one of the most popular girls in her high school. By night, she hides under her covers reading her favorite Xmen book with a flashlight. She knows all the cheat codes for The Lord of the Rings Xbox game, and she can probably tell you all of the birthdates of every cast member of Harry Potter. Oh yea, and she can totally kick butt at World of Warcraft.Which does she want to be? Nerd Zoe or Popular Zoe? She was teased and talked abut a lot in middle school for all the things she ... moreloves, so before high school started, she re-invented herself. She becomes the popular girl that every guy wants to be with and every girl wants to be.But she is not happy. She is hopelessly in love with her nerdy next door neighbor, Zak (who is labeled King Dork) And being seen with him in public, would not be good for her reputation. They used to be best friends though. Until high school. Now, she ignores him. Its getting harder and harder to ignore him. He is all she thinks about. But she is scared. Scared of going back to nerd Zoe and having everyone make fun of her again. She doesn't want that pain, doesn't want to spend her nights crying over all the hateful things people used to say.She also doesn't want to keep hiding who she truly is. A. Big. Huge. Nerd.But, she must make a choice. Zak deserves better. He deserves someone who is not ashamed of him and will actually talk to him in public, not call him a crazy stalker. (To be honest, I wanted to smack her for that comment. Lol)In the end, she choices herself over the version of herself that she created. This was a good story of what some kids experience in high school with not fitting in. And, finally just not giving a flying flip what others think and just being yourself.
review 2: Another great book from Cassie Mae. I love the humor that this author uses and the realistic ways in which she portrays the vulnerabilities that her characters have. The author is also talented in honestly showing readers how everyone can make a complete fool of themselves and that doing so is okay. Sometimes these instances can be over-the-top but serve as perfect illustrations of the author's messages.Zoe is someone who has tried so hard to be someone else out of a fear of rejection, that she is suffocating herself. It is only through some trials with her sister, her friends, and the boys who want her, that she begins to buckle under the weight of this persona. She begins to increasingly turn to Zac, her close friend of a few years ago. He has always stood by her though she has relegated him to the sidelines of her life and is actually quite cruel to him at times even while secretly pining for him. Zac is one of those guys with a heart of gold, quite honestly. His inner strength and his honest acceptance of who he is, are admirable. He sees something in Zoe that she has blinded herself to and believes that she can uncover that person again if she just lets go of her insecurities.This is a cute story with plenty of humor and sweet, blossoming love. I truly enjoyed this book and as usual, will be reading this author's work again. less
