review 1: What you get here is a very convincing portrayal of Miss Geek overcoming the inertia of her geek life and geek clan to discover what she needs to do in order to be happier--and there's the thing--she's already happy in her life of back-to-back X-files box sets, Marvel comics, role-playing games, whatever--she isn't a miserable wallflower feeling sorry for herself (thank Zarquon). And those of us who've been there can relate to the awkwardness of introducing real human feelings into that mix. All this existential squirming would have been enough for me to enjoy the book but the way Julie Cohen handled Fil's tug-of-war between Jim and Dan elevated it to classic status for me. Granted, the plot swings around some convenient coincidences in places, but am overlooking that as I... more enjoyed it far too much or as they say in Klingon: paq muDechbej ghotvam'e'.
review 2: This one kinda got to me. It's not exactly chicklit? And it's not anything else either. I don't really know where to put it. It's about a geeky group of friends, and not the funny haha chicklit geeky group.. but the seriously geeky people. I think that's what I liked about this book, it's funny but it's also pretty much realistic. It's not chicklit, and I was seriously touched by the story. I couldn't stop reading and I loved seeing our main girl grow into herself and learn stuff about herself and her friends. It's a serious book with a funny edge and there's romance but not the annoying kind. It's actually kinda perfect. less
