BOOK CLUB: I LOVE GEEKS
Nerd alert, nerd alert, nerd alert!
Girl meets boy. Girl falls for boy. Girl gets annoyed at boy’s constant video game playing/comic book reading/ sports watching. Girl leaves boy.
Sound familiar? Carrie Tucker feels your pain.
After years of dating nerdy boys, Tucker realized that while they’re often loyal and supportive boyfriends, they’re not as easy to figure out as she thought. Hence I Love Geeks, a handbook to understanding your dorky (but hot!) crushes. She dissects the various subspecies, from video gamers to Comic-Con attendees to sports obsessors, explaining their interests and suggesting ways you can connect.
You’ll either find it incredibly enlightening or incredibly funny (the illustrations at the beginning of each chapter are spot-on), but no matter your reaction, you’ll want to read it front to back. And then you just might be cool with playing a round of Final Fantasy.
