The Summer I Became A Nerd

On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way. 

Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.

I read this like a month ago and now I hardly remember the plot. I'm stunned.

Anyway, I didn't really like this book. If I had read anything about it before I picked it up, I probably hadn't picked it up. That's the truth. It gives me a summer feeling, sure, but I didn't really feel anything for the characters or the story. Maddie were also a really superficial character and that drives me nuts.

I understand the mixed ratings for this book but if you ask me, it was OK. Nothing more, nothing less.
