\"Queens<\/a>
\n Queens of Geek<\/a> by Jen Wilde<\/a>
\n My rating: 5 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

Queens of Geek had me hooked instantly, like even before I was set to read it. I read the blurb about it and said to myself, \u201cI HAVE GOT TO READ THIS.\u201d so I was SUPER IMPATIENT waiting for it to be published. I did found out there was a Wattpad version, but seeing people wondering if there were differences made me shy away and just wait it out until publication day.<\/p>\n

It features things close to my nerdy little heart: a) nerdy queer love b) nerdy queer love founded at a nerd convention.<\/p>\n

For my new readers, I met my fiance over six years ago at a convention, and we started dating exactly a year later on the day we met. (we didn\u2019t plan it that way, scout\u2019s honor.) so Queens Of Geek was literally up my alley, even if when I got into it and it went up in smoke and I absolutely hated it. There was a book out there that I could relate to.<\/p>\n

Taylor, Charlie and Jamie\u2019s initial reaction to SupaCon was extremely identical to my own first-time congoer experience. That nervous excitement. That need to do ALL THE THINGS EVERYWHERE. [Con-going Spoiler Alert: you cannot do all the things at once. You will burn out.]<\/p>\n

Taylor, being a person who suffers from anxiety has the most in common with me. Later on we discover she\u2019s on the aspie spectrum. [a person with autism.] Reese can go eat a dick, I cannot stand him. I want Taylor and Jamie to date [SPOILER ALERT: They eventually do, or perhaps they\u2019re ALREADY dating and I missed the ding dang memo. woops.] and Charlie\u2019s an openly bisexual person of color? Asian in fact? *SQUEE*<\/p>\n

Charlie\u2019s blossoming relationship with Alyssa was super, super cute and I was rooting for them the whole way. I\u2019m trying to keep this as spoiler-free as possible so I won\u2019t go into detail as to where their relationship ends up going. There is an \u201cOH, SHIT!\u201d moment involving them though, and that\u2019s all. I\u2019ll budge on.<\/p>\n

Overall, Queens of Geek was everything I wanted and more in a nerdy queer romance read and has rightfully earned a space on my \u201cfavorites\u201d shelf. <\/p>\n
