How to Date a Nerd

Let's clear something up, before we get to this review. There's a difference between a nerd and a geek. Few people can agree on what the difference is, but the words are not interchangeable. This, in my opinion, should have been called How To Date A Geek. But, whatevs, doesn't matter to me because they are both totally awesome.

You know how sometimes you need a fluffy book? Well, after the emotional rollercoaster that my last read took me on, that's exactly what I needed. I tried reading a couple of fantasy books but couldn't keep my attention on them. Then I remembered someone mentioning this book and went a grabbed it for my kindle.

Exactly what I needed.

This is a cute, fluffy little story about teen love and being true to who you are.

I will admit, Zoe is a character that I really cannot sympathize or relate to. She's one of those ‘I have to be fake because no one will like who I really am' people. Those people...I can't understand. It's impossible for me to be anything other than who I am and the people that can are like a whole other race. Or, if you'd prefer a geek simile, it's like they're speaking Elvish - because, while I got most of the geek references in this book, I cannot speak Elvish.

(Yes, I am inordinately pleased with myself for getting those references.)

Zak on the other hand is simply great. He's a total sweetheart, loves spending time playing WoW and wears Gambit shirts to school. (Seriously, where can I buy one? Because I want.) Definitely the kind of guy I want to see more in romances - whether they be school romances or adult romances.

Fluffy, fun, sweet, cute, loved the geekiness - would have be better if Zoe was herself right from the start.
